I was having the exact same thought. I know there is some mechanism called "port" of the visa where people switch employer to employer for same job category. I could not find any clue around moving from unskilled to skilled one though...

I meant can I upgrade from EB3 unskilled to EB3 skilled? please let me know thank you

Hi mukti barak Seems like I’m not alone haha. I emailed my attorneys to ask about this. I’ll let you know what will they say. I hope it’s possible 🙏🏼

you need a new labor, new i140, and file a new i485, you can’t port from eb3 unskilled to skilled, the job needs to be similar, you can’t go from flipping burger to a software engineer, and vice versa when you port.

that sounds complicated 😢 well I give up 😖

I am sorry I really don’t understand the visa bulletin things . I had my AOS interview for EB-3 Unskilled 3 months ago but still showing interview was scheduled . is my case is also pending due to unavailable visa (

@W Q yeah I think it’s a good sign if your case is pending since the visa is not available so you just need to wait. By the way what’s your PD? (the date that you file your LC)

08/2020

could you share about your interview?

Let's urge USCIS to resume releasing the "EB 485 pending report" (btw they released for 10 years but stopped in 2018), which can tell us the number of people waiting in line before our PD and estimate the wait time. I filed FOIA request and commented on the USCIS data page (https://www.uscis.gov/tools/reports-and-studies/immigration-and-citizenship-data) many times to ask for this. The more people ask for this, the more likely USCIS will take this seriously and release it.
