How long the green card line is (November 2026)
A visa can be given to someone whose priority date (the day the employer filed the labor certification, or for a Schedule A nurse or physical therapist the immigrant petition) is before the final action date for their row and country of birth; "current" means no wait for a visa number. The dates for filing say who may file their paperwork early. From the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, by country of birth, not of citizenship or education. USCIS accepts green card applications filed inside the US by the dates for filing this month (USCIS: adjustment of status filing charts).
| Born in | EB-3 skilled workers and professionalsfinal action date (filing date) | EB-3 other workersfinal action date (filing date) |
|---|---|---|
| All other countries | 15 June 2024 (1 August 2024)2 years and 4 months behind | 1 June 2022 (1 July 2022)4 years and 5 months behind |
| China (mainland-born) | 22 January 2022 (1 April 2024)4 years and 9 months behind | 1 October 2019 (1 October 2020)7 years and 1 month behind |

EB-3 skilled workers and professionals: jobs that require 2 years of training or experience or a degree, registered nurses and therapists among them. EB-3 other workers: jobs that require less than 2 years, such as caregivers, home health aides and nursing assistants. The bulletin is published each month; how far a line moves is the State Department's, and these dates are not a forecast of anyone's wait.

Social worker jobs with visa sponsorship in California: common questions
Do employers in California sponsor visas for social workers?
Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 17 green card (PERM) applications for social workers with a worksite in California, from 16 employers, and 38 H-1B and E-3 applications from 31 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's social worker sponsors.
Which employers in California sponsor social workers?
By certified applications in that period: Pomona Del Sol ADHC LLC (3), A Plus Adult Day Health Care (2) and Arcadia ADHC Inc. (2). Every one of them is listed below, with what it offered. A certified application means the employer sponsored that job; write to them directly, as their own job boards list what is open now.
What do employers that sponsor social workers in California pay?
The median of the lowest hourly rate each green card application offered was $28.77 an hour (17 applications); for H-1B applications, $32.50. The employer must offer at least the prevailing wage for the job in that place, so a sponsored worker is paid like anyone in the same job there.
Where in California are these jobs?
Green card worksites, most applications first: San Gabriel (2), Los Angeles (2), Palo Alto (2), El Monte (1), La Puente (1) and Marysville (1). H-1B worksites: Los Angeles (4), San Gabriel (4), Pomona (3), San Francisco (2), Pasadena (2) and Monrovia (2). Open social worker jobs in California lists every employer hiring there now.
Can someone from outside the US get a social worker job in California with sponsorship?
Yes, when an employer files for it. For social workers in California the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: the employer files a labor condition application first, as the 38 certified above. A job that sponsors says so in its posting; never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa.
How current is this, and where does it come from?
From the US Labor Department's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07: only applications it certified, each read as an occupation by its own job title and placed in California by its worksite. A certified application is not yet a visa: USCIS decides the petition after it. CareJobs.Now rebuilds these figures each quarter the files are published.
Sources and method
Counted from the Labor Department's disclosure files: only applications it certified (for PERM, also those certified and then expired unused), each read as an occupation by its own job title with the classifier the board's job pages use, and placed in California by the worksite it names. Wages are the lowest rate each application offered, a yearly salary counted over 2,080 hours. Employer names are as the Department records them; a name opens a page here only when it matches one of the board's employers. 55 applications in all.
