What is an EB-3 Visa and What Are the Requirements?
The EB-3 visa is a pathway for skilled workers, certain professionals, and some unskilled laborers to permanently live and work in the United States. It’s a popular employment-based green card category, but it comes with clear eligibility steps for candidates and employers.
- For “skilled workers,” applicants generally need at least two years of job experience or training in their field.
- “Professionals” are required to show they hold at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent) and that the job requires such a degree.
- A smaller pool of “unskilled labor” jobs can qualify, but the work must be full-time and not seasonal or temporary.
- All EB-3 applicants must already have a permanent, full-time job offer from a U.S. employer willing to act as sponsor.
- Employers must prove, via a PERM labor certification from the Department of Labor, that no qualified U.S. worker was available for the position.
- The U.S. employer must show enough financial resources to pay the wage on the offer.
- Applicants and family members have to pass basic health, background, and admissibility checks.
While the EB-3 process takes commitment and considerable paperwork, successful approval leads to U.S. permanent residence and new opportunities.
What Workers Can Do to Strengthen Their EB-3 Application
The EB-3 green card process is complex, but there are certain steps you can take to improve your chances of an approval.
Gather Official Letters from Past Supervisors Early
Obtain detailed, signed employment verification letters (on company letterhead) explaining your role, tasks, dates, and hours These testimonials will back up your claimed experience.
Make Sure Education Records Match Job Requirements
Have your degrees and training evaluated for U.S. equivalency if necessary. Align your documentation with the position’s minimum requirement: missing credentials or unclear academic records are among the most common reasons for visa denials.
Keep Resume, Online Profiles, and Forms Completely Consistent
Review every detail before submitting your application. Application forms, resumes, LinkedIn profiles, or immigration history questionnaires should never reveal contradictory dates, employer names, or job responsibilities.
Prepare Thoroughly for the Visa Interview
If called for consular processing, rehearse answers about work experience, job duties, educational projects, and anticipated responsibilities in the United States.
Respond Promptly to Requests for Evidence (RFEs)
Sometimes USCIS emails or asks for extra proof or clarification. Don’t delay – provide clear answers and any additional paperwork immediately with the help of your lawyer.
Understanding these steps can help you improve your chances of being approved without too much trouble.
