Category background
Understanding Other Workers India Visa Bulletin: history, demand drivers, and pitfalls
The smallest slice of the employment system
Other Workers — positions requiring less than two years of training or experience — share the EB-3 preference but draw from a separate worldwide pool capped at roughly 10,000 visas a year. India's 7% share of that is around 700 visas. That is the entire annual supply for this line.
In practice the India Other Workers cutoff tracks EB-3 India closely, because Indian demand in this subcategory is small: most Indian employment-based filings come through degree-holding professionals in EB-2 and EB-3 proper.
Check your classification before you check this date
The most common confusion on this page: an applicant whose PERM was certified for a skilled position reading the Other Workers line by mistake, or vice versa. The I-140 approval notice states the classification — verify it before treating either cutoff as yours.
When the EB-3 India and Other Workers India lines diverge in the history table, it is almost always the worldwide Other Workers pool tightening rather than anything India-specific. The two lines reconverge once the pressure passes.
