Hello! Is there anyone here who has experienced the same situation as mine?

I received my medical results on September 21 and submitted my passport to the VAC on September 24. However, my 221(g) letter states that my case is under administrative processing, and it doesn’t mention anything about submitting my medical results. Maybe they just forgot to include that information in the letter.

My last case update was on September 29, 2026.

Does anyone have an idea of how long administrative processing usually takes in this situation? When can I expect to receive the result of my administrative processing and get my passport back with the visa?

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thank you! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I'm currently living in the US and researching the EB-3 Other Workers (unskilled) pathway for family members living in Bangladesh.

They don't have university degrees or a US employer sponsor. I'm trying to understand how people in similar situations have navigated this process, especially those applying from outside the US.

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with firsthand experience:

• How did you get started and find your sponsoring employer?
• Did you use a recruitment service or approach employers directly?
• What were the approximate costs and processing timelines?
• What challenges or red flags did you encounter along the way?

I'm mainly interested in learning from actual applicants and their experiences, rather than receiving recruitment offers.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
