An EB-3 visa is a type of employment-based immigrant visa in the United States that allows foreign workers to become permanent residents. The EB-3 visa is typically sponsored by a U.S. employer. There are three subcategories for the EB-3 visa:
- Skilled Workers: Individuals with at least two years of experience in a skilled occupation.
- Professionals: Individuals with a U.S. EB-3 Visa Sponsor bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent and working in a professional role.
- Other Workers: Individuals performing unskilled labor that requires less than two years of experience.
For an EB-3 visa, the sponsor must be a U.S. employer who offers a full-time permanent job. The employer must also demonstrate the need for a foreign worker in the role, typically through a process called Labor Certification (PERM). This ensures that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position.
If you're considering an EB-3 visa, you would need to find a U.S. employer who is willing to sponsor you and complete the necessary steps for certification and filing.
