Can children attend public school after EB-3?

The EB-3 visa is an employment-based immigration category that, once approved, grants permanent resident status (Green Card) to the beneficiary and allows for the inclusion of spouses and dependent children.

With this status, children gain access to many rights offered to U.S. citizens and residents, including free public education. Regarding public schools, U.S. legislation guarantees the right to free education for all school-age children (usually from elementary to high school, known as K-12), regardless of their immigration status.

This means that after obtaining the EB-3 visa and adjusting status to permanent residents, your children can indeed attend public schools without enrollment fees.

It is worth highlighting that access to education is governed by both state and federal laws, and each location may have specific guidelines; however, the right to education is generally assured.

It is always important to emphasize that immigration procedures must be conducted in strict compliance with U.S. laws. Seeking information from official sources and relying on specialized guidance from trustworthy professionals can avoid complications and risks of scams or marketing campaigns promising miraculous solutions. Staying well informed and cautious is essential for a safe journey through the immigration process.

If there are specific doubts about your situation or the regulations of the state where you intend to reside, it is advisable to seek additional clarifications through official channels, thus ensuring compliance with all rules and protection of your family’s rights.
