The EB-3 visa is for foreign workers sponsored by a US employer. Here’s a breakdown of the 3 subcategories:
1. Skilled Workers (EB-3A):
-
Education: 2 years of relevant work experience OR post-secondary education in the field.
-
Experience: 2 years of experience in the sponsored occupation.
2. Professionals (EB-3B):
-
Education: US bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in the profession.
-
Experience: Must be a member of the profession requiring a bachelor’s degree.
3. Other Workers (EB-3C):
-
Education: High school diploma or equivalent (no specific degree required).
-
Experience: 2 years of full-time experience in the past 5 years in the sponsored occupation (unskilled labor).
Important Notes:
-
All EB-3 applicants need a valid job offer from a US employer willing to sponsor them.
-
The employer needs a labor certification from the US Department of Labor (DOL) to prove no qualified US workers are available and that hiring you won’t hurt US worker wages and conditions.
Overall: The EB-3 visa offers a path for skilled workers, professionals, and certain other workers to immigrate to the US for employment, meeting the requirements of their specific subcategory.
