What is EB-3 Green Card?
The EB-3 Green Card is an employment-based immigrant visa for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers who are offered permanent employment in the United States. This category allows U.S. employers to sponsor foreign nationals when qualified U.S. workers are not available for the position.
The EB-3 category is one of the most commonly used employment-based Green Card options and is available to a wide range of occupations.
EB-3 Categories
The EB-3 visa is divided into three subcategories:
Skilled Workers
Jobs requiring at least two years of training or experience.
Professionals
Jobs requiring at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
Other Workers (Unskilled Workers)
Jobs requiring less than two years of training or experience.
Each category requires employer sponsorship and labor certification.
Who Qualifies for EB-3?
You may qualify for an EB-3 Green Card if:
- Vous avez reçu une offre d'emploi permanent d'un employeur américain.
- L'employeur complète la procédure de certification de la main-d'œuvre PERM
- You meet the education or experience requirements
- The employer can pay the offered wage
- No qualified U.S. worker is available for the position
EB-3 is often used for construction workers, technicians, hospitality workers, drivers, healthcare workers, engineers, and many other occupations.
EB-3 Application Process
The EB-3 process usually includes:
- Détermination du salaire dominant
- Recruitment and advertising
- PERM labor certification filing
- Approbation du PERM
- Form I-140 filing
- Priority date waiting
- Adaptation du statut ou traitement consulaire
- Approbation de la carte verte
Because this process involves both the Department of Labor and USCIS, proper legal guidance is important.
Benefits of EB-3 Green Card
