1. The EB-3 visa (Employment-Based Third Preference) is an immigrant visa category in the United States that enables foreign nationals to become lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) through a sponsoring U.S. employer.
2. It encompasses three subcategories: Skilled Workers (requiring at least two years of training or experience), Professionals (requiring at least a bachelor’s degree), and Unskilled/Other Workers (requiring less than two years of training).
3. To initiate the process, the employer typically obtains a PERM Labor Certification from the Department of Labor, then files Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) with USCIS.
4. Once the I-140 is approved, applicants either pursue Adjustment of Status if already in the U.S. or undergo consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate if living abroad.
5. Upon completion, they receive their Green Cards and may eventually apply for U.S. citizenship, provided they meet the relevant criteria. Qualified family members (spouse and unmarried children under 21) are also eligible to join or accompany the principal EB-3 beneficiary, further highlighting the visa’s value as a pathway for both professional and family-based immigration.
