What You Gain & How We Help
Types of EB-3 Visas
The EB-3 category includes three worker classifications. Knowing which applies to you is key to a strong application.
Skilled Workers
Applicants must have at least two years of job experience or training. This covers trades, culinary positions, healthcare roles, and more. A permanent, full-time job offer is required.
Professionals
This group includes people whose jobs require at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent). The degree must be directly related to the position being offered.
Other Workers (Unskilled Labor)
These are positions that require less than two years of training or experience but are not temporary or seasonal. This is often the slowest-moving EB category due to annual caps.
Not Sure Which EB-3 Path You Fall Under?
We can help clarify your options based on your background and goals.
EB-3 Visa Requirements
Each EB-3 applicant needs to meet several baseline criteria, depending on their classification:
- Job Offer – You’ll need a permanent, full-time offer from a U.S. employer.
- Labor Certification (PERM) – Your employer must prove there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the role.
- Qualifications – Depending on your category, you may need to show work experience, job training, or a degree.
- Supporting Documents – This can include tax records, employment letters, credentials, and more.
Keep in mind: The employer, not the applicant, usually begins the process.

The EB-3 Visa Process
Here’s how the EB-3 visa process usually works:
- 1. Job Offer
You must have a permanent offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor you. - 2. Labor Certification (PERM)
The employer files with the Department of Labor to confirm no U.S. workers are available. - 3. Petition Filing (Form I-140)
Your employer submits the petition to USCIS with documentation. - 4. Wait for Priority Date to Become Current
EB-3 has a longer backlog, especially for “Other Workers” so this waiting period may vary. - 5. Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing
If inside the U.S., you apply for a green card. If abroad, you go through consular processing in your home country.

EB-3 Visa FAQs
What is the EB-3 visa?
It’s an employment-based green card for skilled workers, professionals, and some unskilled workers who have a permanent job offer from a U.S. employer. This includes roles like nurses, electricians, cooks, teachers, construction workers, and office assistants.
How long does the EB-3 visa process take?
It varies by job category and country of origin. Skilled/professional roles usually move faster than unskilled worker cases, which may have longer wait times.
Can I bring my family on an EB-3 visa?
Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 may apply for green cards as accompanying dependents.
