Are you dreaming of living and working in the United States? The EB-3 visa could be your pathway to achieving that dream. The EB-3 Unskilled Visa Program allows foreign nationals to work permanently in the United States.

The EB-3 Visa includes three subcategories:

• • Skilled Workers

• • Professionals

• • Unskilled workers (or “other workers”)

For the unskilled worker subcategory, known as EB-3 Unskilled or EB-3 Other Workers, this visa is designated for positions where there are insufficient qualified U.S. workers available. The EB-3 Unskilled Visa Program offers a pathway to U.S. permanent residency for foreign workers filling critical roles with sponsoring employers, particularly in sectors with labor shortages.

Working with an experienced immigration consultant or attorney can help guide you through each step efficiently. At Emmigranz, we specialize in assisting individuals like you to navigate the complexities of the U.S. immigration process, specifically focusing on the EB-3 visa category. We understand that pursuing a U.S. visa can be daunting, and we’re here to provide expert guidance and support every step of the way.

What is the EB-3 Visa? The EB-3 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency (a Green Card).

Step By Step Process and Timeline:

1. 1. Initial Consultation and Documentation:
      
      • • Schedule a meeting with an EB-3 USA Immigration Consultant / Case Manager to understand the process and explore available job openings.
      • • Submit a CV and passport copy and receive a service agreement.

1. 1. Labor Certification (PERM Process):
      
      • • The sponsoring employer submits Form ETA-9089 as part of the Labor Certification application to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
      • • Each applicant receives a unique case number and can monitor the status on the DOL website: DOL Case Status.

1. 1. Filing the I-140 Petition:
      
      • • Upon PERM approval, an attorney files Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) and eligible dependent family members with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
      • • The I-140 petition takes around 6 to 9 months with normal processing and 15 calendar days with premium processing.

1. 1. National Visa Center (NVC) Processing:
      
      • • Pay the visa fee through the National Visa Center (NVC), then complete and submit Form DS-260 to initiate the final processing stage.
      • • For applicants already in the U.S., wait until the priority date becomes current to file for Adjustment of Status (Form I-485).

1. 1. Consular Interview:
      
      • • Once the application is processed, the applicant receives an invitation letter for an interview at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their home country.
      • • Attend the interview to complete the process and await visa approval.
      • • National Visa Center processing and interview take approximately 12 months.
