Do we need an Affidavit of Support for EB-3?

The EB-3 visa is an employment-based category that allows skilled workers, professionals, and other workers (less skilled) to seek permanent residence in the United States through a job offer. In this context, the process generally focuses on evaluating the candidate’s qualifications and verifying the job offer, rather than proving financial support through an Affidavit of Support.

In practice, the Affidavit of Support is a document required in immigration processes based on family petitions, where a U.S. citizen or legal resident pledges to financially support the immigrant to prevent dependence on public assistance. Since the EB-3 is tied to a job offer, financial responsibility is demonstrated by the employer and the offered employment, making this type of declaration usually unnecessary in the case of EB-3.

It is important to always follow United States immigration laws and obtain information through official sources or specialized consultancies. Avoid scams or marketing messages that guarantee specific or easy results, as each case has its particularities and requires careful analysis of the applicable documents and requirements. Staying informed and seeking correct guidance can make all the difference for a successful immigration process.
