EB-3 (Employment-Based Third) is a lawful immigration program based on employment sponsorship, established by the U.S. government in 1990 under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The EB-3 Visa (Employment-Based Third Category) is a U.S. permanent residency program allowing foreign workers (unskilled, skilled, and professionals) to obtain permanent Green Cards through full-time employment sponsorship by a qualified U.S. employer.
Applicants meeting the following core requirements:
Age between 18 and 50 years old.
Good health, free from communicable diseases.
Clean criminal record and background check.
No prior violations of U.S. immigration laws.
Yes. The legally married spouse and unmarried children under 21 of the principal applicant receive U.S. Permanent Green Cards concurrently, enjoying all social, medical, and education benefits.
The average timeline is 2.5 to 4 years depending on stage processing speeds (DOL PERM labor certification, USCIS Form I-140 approval, and the monthly Department of State Visa Bulletin cutoff dates).
For the Unskilled Workers category, there is no requirement for English language certificates or degrees. Basic conversational skills are nonetheless recommended for faster integration.
The standard process involves 4 main phases:
PERM Labor Certification: Filed with and approved by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).
Form I-140 Petition: Immigrant petition filed with USCIS.
Visa Interview / Form I-485: Consular interview abroad or adjustment of status in the U.S.
Green Card & Employment: Arrive in the U.S. and fulfill employment commitment.
The principal applicant commits to working for the sponsoring employer for a minimum of 1 year according to the executed employment agreement.
