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.
Increased oversight following the USCIS investigation will likely result in more thorough background checks and verification of educational credentials for Nigerian applicants. This adds a layer of complexity to the already rigorous EB-3 application process.
Nigeria is subject to the 'Rest of World' visa availability. The fee increase adds to the overall expense of the immigration process without the added pressure of severe retrogression.
