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.

Important Notes:

  • EB-3 has specific requirements and limitations.

  • Eligibility can vary based on your situation and job qualifications.

  • The application process involves multiple steps and careful document preparation.
