Criteria for the EB-3 visa
Thinking about getting a green card through a job offer? The EB-3 visa category might be for you! Here's a breakdown of eligibility and the process:
Who Can Qualify (3 Main Paths):
Skilled Workers: Requires 2+ years of experience in a job demanding at least 2 years of training/experience (plus a US employer sponsor).
Professionals: Requires a US bachelor's degree (or equivalent) relevant to your desired profession (plus a US employer sponsor).
Other Workers: For jobs requiring less than 2 years of training/experience (with a US employer sponsor).
Additional Requirements:
Labor Certification (PERM): In most cases, your employer will need to prove there are no qualified US workers available and that hiring you won't hurt US worker wages or conditions (PERM process).
Employer Sponsorship: A US employer willing to sponsor your green card application by offering you a permanent, full-time job.
Priority Date: How long you wait to apply for your visa depends on your priority date (usually the date your employer files the PERM).
Education & Experience: The specific requirements may vary depending on your job and visa category within EB-3.

Eligibility can vary based on your situation and job qualifications.
