Can I say that I do not intend to stay in the US for a long time?

The EB-3 visa is an immigration category aimed at skilled workers, professionals, and other workers, and its primary purpose is to establish permanent residence in the United States. Therefore, during the application process and interviews, the US government evaluates the true intention of settling in the country.

When you mention that ‘you do not intend to stay in the US for a long time’, this may raise doubts regarding your immigration intent, an essential characteristic for those applying for an EB-3 visa. It is fundamental to be honest in your answers, but also to demonstrate that you understand that applying for this visa implies the desire to reside permanently in the country.

If it is proven that your goal is not permanent settlement, the application may be compromised. I advise caution when addressing points like this in interviews or forms. Expressing strategies or thoughts that seem inconsistent with the visa category requirements may negatively influence the review of your immigration process.

It is always advisable to follow all US immigration laws and seek guidance from specialized and reliable sources to ensure your statements align with the system’s expectations. Remember that the immigration process is complex and each case has its particularities. Therefore, adopting a transparent and consistent stance, in harmony with the legal criteria of the EB-3 visa, is essential to avoid future problems and so your application is fairly and properly evaluated.

In case of doubts, it is always worth consulting updated and specialized information to prevent possible mistakes or traps offered by marketing campaigns promising miracle solutions.
