Can I change my job to another with a higher salary before the interview?

The EB-3 visa is an option for skilled workers, professionals, and even unskilled workers who have a permanent job offer in the United States. This process involves several steps, including labor certification and the employer’s petition, which describe in detail the position, duties, and salary conditions. Therefore, all submitted documentation needs to exactly reflect this job offer.

If you are considering changing jobs to a position with a higher salary before your interview, it is important to know that changes in the job offer may impact the progress of your process. This is because the originally approved petition is linked to the job and the conditions described in the initial application. By changing jobs, you will be altering this information, which usually implies the need for a new sponsor and the restart of some stages of the process – such as obtaining a new labor certification and filing a new petition. This change can delay or even jeopardize your progress with immigration authorities.

Therefore, if you are thinking about changing jobs before the interview, it is highly recommended that you carefully evaluate all the implications of this change. Always remember the importance of strictly following the United States immigration laws. Check whether the new employer is willing and able to start a new process and count on the support of specialized professionals, which can make all the difference in avoiding future complications and falling into traps or misleading promises from marketing campaigns.

Maintaining your status regularized and documented according to statutory requirements is essential for a safe and successful immigration process. Each situation has its particularities, so before making any decision, research thoroughly and, if possible, seek qualified guidance in the area.
