Visa Bulletin Advancement: EB-3 Rest of World (2026-03)
The Department of State advanced the EB-3 Final Action Date for Rest of World chargeability from 2023-06-01 to 2023-10-01 in the 2026-03 bulletin. This may allow additional applicants to proceed with their petitions.
Because the US lacks a reciprocal data-sharing agreement with Iran, verifying criminal history to the new standard will be difficult. This is likely to result in prolonged 'Section 221(g)' administrative processing for Iranian EB-3 applicants as DHS seeks alternative verification methods.
Visa Bulletin Advancement: EB-3 Rest of World (2026-02)
The Department of State advanced the EB-3 Final Action Date for Rest of World chargeability from 2023-04-22 to 2023-06-01 in the 2026-02 bulletin. This may allow additional applicants to proceed with their petitions.
Iranian nationals already undergo significant security vetting; the addition of more rigorous EB-3 fraud oversight will likely extend total processing times. USCIS will likely perform more deep-dive reviews into the sponsoring companies for these applicants.
While Iranian applicants often face additional security screening, the EB-3 premium processing fee increase is a separate administrative cost. It adds to the financial complexity of their immigration journey.
