EB-3 Visa Categories: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers
The EB-3 Visa, falling under the employment-based Green Card categories, is designed for three distinct groups:
1. Skilled Workers: Jobs not temporary or seasonal requiring a minimum of 2 years of training or work experience. Relevant post-secondary education may be considered.
2. Professionals: Foreign nationals holding a U.S. baccalaureate degree or its equivalent related to the job position. The degree must be in a field where a degree is typically required.
3. Other Workers (Unskilled): Foreign nationals performing unskilled labor not of a temporary or seasonal nature and requiring less than 2 years of training or experience.
EB-3 Visa Application Process
The EB-3 Green Card application process involves three key steps, beginning with employer sponsorship:
Step 1: PERM Labor Certification Process:
• Define job duties and minimum requirements.
• Submit a "prevailing wage determination" request to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
• Advertise the position to U.S. workers, conducting a recruitment stage.
• File Form ETA 9089 with the DOL, providing information on the position, recruitment process, and the foreign worker.
• DOL adjudicates the PERM application, either certifying, denying, or auditing it.
• If approved, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: I-140 Immigrant Petition:
• File the I-140 Immigrant Petition with USCIS along with the certified PERM/Labor Certification Application.
• Prove the foreign national's qualifications for the job and the employer's financial ability to pay the offered wage.
• USCIS adjudicates the petition, either approving, denying, or requesting additional evidence.
• Premium processing is available for a quicker adjudication.
Step 3: Green Card Application:
• If the professional is in the U.S., was inspected and admitted or paroled into the United States, has maintained status since last entry, and an immigrant visa is available, file an adjustment of status application.
• If not in the U.S., apply for an EB-3 immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad when a visa is available.
