As the U.S. economy continues to rebound and grow, access to reliable, legal labor has become more critical than ever—especially in sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, construction, hospitality, and healthcare. For American employers wrestling with persistent labor shortages, the July 2025 Visa Bulletin brings a breath of fresh air: the EB-3 “Other Workers” category has advanced by more than two weeks, a clear indicator that the U.S. government is supporting legal pathways for bringing in much-needed talent.
July 2025 Visa Bulletin Highlights
- EB-3 Unskilled (Other Workers) final action date moved from June 22, 2021 to July 08, 2021.
- That’s a gain of 16 days compared to June 2025—a steady, positive trend that underscores stability and predictability in EB-3 processing.
This forward movement means petitions filed under the EB-3 Unskilled category will be adjudicated more quickly, reducing waiting times for workers to obtain their green cards and begin contributing on the job.
Why This Matters for U.S. Employers
- Faster Hiring Cycles
A quicker final action date directly translates into shorter overall processing times. Employers can onboard EB-3 Unskilled workers with less administrative delay, minimizing payroll gaps and project slowdowns. - Cost-Effective Workforce
EB-3 applicants commit to a minimum three-year employment term at prevailing wages. This arrangement helps control turnover costs and provides a committed, long-term labor pool. - Legal Assurance
Everyone hired through EB-3 is entering the U.S. under a fully legal, government-sanctioned program. That means peace of mind for compliance with both federal immigration regulations and state labor laws.
A Pro-Immigration Shift at the White House
On June 3, 2025, during a White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to concerns about mass deportations of undocumented farmworkers:
“The Administration recognizes that up to 40% of agricultural labor is currently undocumented. We’re not interested in jeopardizing food production or supply chains. Instead, we’re expanding legal pathways—like the EB-3 program—to ensure farmers and businesses have consistent access to the workforce they need.”
Karoline Leavitt went on to clarify that enforcement actions will focus exclusively on undocumented individuals with criminal records, not on the broader labor force that keeps America’s industries running. Far from opposing immigration, the Trump Administration is bolstering legal entry channels to meet genuine labor needs.
EB-3: A Win-Win for Businesses and Workers
The combined effect of a forward-moving Visa Bulletin and a supportive executive stance means:
- Businesses gain streamlined access to vetted, motivated workers
- Workers receive a clear, legal route to permanent residency and community integration
This synergy is exactly why many U.S. companies—from Midwestern farms to East Coast manufacturing plants—are turning to the EB-3 program as their go-to labor solution.
