Does the EB-3 authorize me to live in Puerto Rico or Hawaii?

The EB-3 is an employment-based visa category that, once approved, grants legal permanent resident status – the well-known green card – in the United States. This means that, after approval and with the green card in hand, you have the right to live and work in any state within the American territory, without restrictions regarding location.

Therefore, regardless of whether you choose to live in Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, or in Hawaii, which is one of the 50 states of the country, the EB-3 authorizes you to reside in these regions.

It is important to remember, however, that all movements and decisions related to your immigration status must strictly follow the current immigration laws. It is always recommended to consult official sources and seek guidance from specialized professionals (without promising specific outcomes) to prevent scams or marketing campaigns that guarantee miraculous solutions.

Staying well-informed and following the legal regulations is essential to ensure safety and success on your immigration journey. This way, you can make the most of the EB-3 benefits and choose the best location according to your interests and needs.
