September 2026 U.S. Visa Bulletin Update: EB-3 Other Workers Priority Dates Remain Unchanged

The U.S. Department of State has released the September 2026 Visa Bulletin, providing the latest priority-date information for employment-based and family-sponsored immigrant visa categories.

For applicants following the EB-3 Other Workers category, particularly Pakistani applicants, the September bulletin brings no change in either the Final Action Date or the Date for Filing compared with August 2026.

At Jaggi Consultants, we closely monitor the monthly U.S. Visa Bulletin to keep our EB-3 applicants informed about priority-date movement and developments that may affect their Green Card processing.

🇺🇸 EB-3 Other Workers — September 2026

For All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed, which includes Pakistan, the September 2026 dates are:

Final Action Date

📅 April 1, 2022 — NO CHANGE

Applicants generally need a priority date earlier than April 1, 2022 for a visa number to be available for final action, subject to all other eligibility and processing requirements.

Date for Filing

📅 August 1, 2022 — NO CHANGE

The Dates for Filing chart remains at August 1, 2022 for EB-3 Other Workers.

August vs. September 2026

Therefore, there has been no forward movement or retrogression for EB-3 Other Workers in the September 2026 Visa Bulletin.

What Does the Final Action Date Mean?

The Final Action Date is particularly important because it determines when an immigrant visa number may become available for final approval.

For September 2026, the EB-3 Other Workers Final Action Date remains:

01 APRIL 2022

This means applicants chargeable to countries covered by the worldwide column, including Pakistan, generally need a priority date before April 1, 2022 to be within the Final Action Date.

Having a current priority date does not by itself guarantee visa issuance. Applicants must still satisfy all applicable immigration, documentary, medical, security and consular requirements.

What Does the Date for Filing Mean?

The Date for Filing determines when qualifying applicants may be able to proceed with certain documentation stages of immigrant visa processing.

For September 2026, the EB-3 Other Workers Date for Filing remains:

01 AUGUST 2022

For consular-processing cases, applicants with qualifying priority dates may be instructed by the National Visa Center (NVC) to proceed with applicable documentation according to Department of State procedures.

Applicants pursuing adjustment of status inside the United States should separately check which Visa Bulletin chart USCIS authorizes for use that month.

What Does This Mean for Pakistani EB-3 Applicants?

Pakistan falls under the “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” column of the Visa Bulletin.

Therefore, for Pakistani applicants under EB-3 Other Workers, the key September 2026 dates remain:

🔴 Final Action Date: April 1, 2022
🟠 Date for Filing: August 1, 2022

Applicants with later priority dates will need to continue waiting for future Visa Bulletins to determine when their dates move forward.

Jaggi Consultants recommends that EB-3 applicants continue preparing and maintaining their documentation rather than waiting until their priority date becomes current to address potential issues.

Important Warning from the Department of State

The Department of State has cautioned that Visa Bulletin dates can change depending on immigrant visa demand and annual numerical limits.

The September bulletin specifically notes that retrogression may become necessary in upcoming months as additional demand materializes. Categories can also become “Unavailable” if applicable annual or category limits are reached.

This makes it particularly important for EB-3 applicants to monitor each monthly Visa Bulletin rather than assuming that dates will consistently move forward.
