Understanding EB-3 Visas
EB-3 visas aim to help employers fill skilled, professional, and unskilled positions by offering foreign workers a pathway to permanent residency in the United States. There are three subcategories within the EB-3 visa:
- Skilled Workers
- Professionals
- Other Workers
The EB-3 visa offers several benefits, including a direct pathway to permanent residency, allowing employees to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. This visa also helps employers address labor shortages by filling critical positions with qualified foreign workers. Choosing the right category is essential to align with your employment needs and ensure a smooth application process.
Eligibility Requirements
To qualify for an EB-3 visa, applicants must meet specific criteria for each subcategory:
- Skilled workers must have at least two years of job experience or training in a specific occupation. The position must require at least two years of experience or training.
- Professionals must hold a U.S. bachelor’s degree or its foreign equivalent, and the job requires such a degree.
- Other workers must perform unskilled labor that requires less than two years of training or experience.
Additionally, all applicants must have a valid job offer from a U.S. employer and obtain labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. D’Alessio Law helps ensure your qualifications and job offer meet these criteria.
EB-3 Visa Application Process
The application process for an EB-3 visa involves several critical steps. First, the U.S. employer must obtain labor certification through the PERM process, demonstrating that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.
Next, the employer files Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with USCIS, including supporting evidence of the job offer and the employee’s qualifications. Once approved, the employee can proceed with consular processing or adjustment of status.
At D’Alessio Law, we guide you through each step, ensuring all documentation is accurate and complete to increase the chances of a successful application.
