Does the company need to announce salary in the job posting?

When seeking job opportunities that enable obtaining the EB-3 visa, it is important to pay attention to several details, especially regarding the disclosure of the vacancy and the terms offered.

The EB-3 is a process that, among other requirements, demands that the employer prove that the salary offered is in accordance with the prevailing wage for the occupation, as determined by the United States Department of Labor.

Regarding the disclosure of the salary in the job posting, there is no specific federal requirement for the amount to be publicly stated in all cases. However, it is fundamental that the employer conducts the prevailing wage determination process and maintains clear records of this information, as this value will be used to prove that the salary offered meets legal requirements during the labor certification process (PERM).

Some states or municipalities may have local regulations that encourage or require salary transparency in job advertisements. For this reason, it is always advisable to check the specific laws of the jurisdiction where the vacancy will be posted.

Remember that, regardless of the form of disclosure, compliance with United States labor and immigration laws is essential for the success of the EB-3 process.

It is important to seek updated information and, in case of doubts, consult official sources or companies specialized in the field, avoiding falling into traps or promises of guaranteed results.

Staying well informed is a crucial step to safely and assertively navigate the immigration process.
