Tracking your EB-3 case helps you know where your case stands in the process and when the next step is coming. Understanding the key milestones helps you track it properly instead of worrying without a clear picture. This article guides you through tracking your EB-3 case via its main timeline milestones.
Tracking Your EB-3 Case Through Process Milestones
An EB-3 case passes through key milestones: completion of Labor Certification (PERM), filing and approval of the petition (I-140), the priority date becoming current per the visa bulletin, and the final step of adjustment of status or consular processing.
Each milestone marks a stage. Knowing which milestone you are at helps you understand how many steps remain and what to do next.
How to Check Your Case Status
Applicants can check the status of certain applications through the immigration agency’s online tool using the receipt number. This tool shows the current status of the application (received, in process, approved, or request for evidence).
At the same time, you should monitor the visa bulletin monthly to see whether your priority date has become current. These are the two most important channels for tracking.
Notes on Tracking
Track regularly, but do not worry excessively if the status does not change for a while, since some processing stages naturally take a long time. What matters is responding promptly if a request for evidence is issued.

Tracking your EB-3 case through the key milestones (PERM, I-140, priority date, final step) helps you know where your case stands. The two important channels are checking the application status and monitoring the visa bulletin. Track regularly and respond promptly whenever a request for evidence is issued.
