đēđ¸ Understanding the EB-3 Employment-Based Green Card
The EB-3 visa is one of the most common pathways to lawful permanent residence (a green card) for foreign workers who have a permanent job offer from a U.S. employer.
Who may qualify?
â
Skilled Workers â Jobs requiring at least 2 years of training or experience.
â
Professionals â Positions requiring at least a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent.
â
Other Workers â Certain permanent positions requiring less than 2 years of training or experience.
How does the process work?
1ī¸âŖ A U.S. employer offers a permanent, full-time position.
2ī¸âŖ In most cases, the employer obtains PERM Labor Certification.
3ī¸âŖ The employer files Form I-140.
4ī¸âŖ When a visa number becomes available, the worker applies for permanent residence through Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing.
5ī¸âŖ If approved, the applicant receives a U.S. Green Card.
â ī¸ Important: Every case is unique. Eligibility, processing times, and documentation requirements vary based on your immigration history, country of birth, and the specific job being offered.
If you are an employer looking to sponsor a workerâor an individual seeking an employment-based green cardâconsult with an experienced immigration attorney to evaluate your options.
