Does the EB-3 charge an extra fee for each dependent?

The EB-3 visa is one of the employment-based immigration categories that allows skilled and unskilled workers, along with their family members, to obtain permanent residence in the United States. In this context, it is important to understand that the process involves the payment of fees that vary according to each stage and each member applying.

Regarding the dependents included in the EB-3 petition, there is no single specific ‘extra fee’ charged just for being dependents. What happens is that each person included in the application – whether the principal applicant, spouse, or children – needs to pay the individual fees corresponding to the stages of the process, such as the visa processing fee or adjustment of status fee, when applicable.

These fees are set by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or by the American embassy/consulate responsible for processing the visas. It is essential to remember that complying with United States immigration laws is extremely important. Therefore, whenever there are doubts or when preparing documentation and making payments, it is advisable to seek updated information from official sources and consult reputable professionals or specialized companies.

This way, you avoid the possibility of falling victim to scams or being attracted by marketing campaigns promising guaranteed results, which do not happen in the complex world of immigration processes. Paying attention to the details and staying informed about possible changes in fees and rules of the visa application process can make all the difference for those on this journey. After all, although costs are an expected part of the procedure, each situation requires an individual analysis to ensure the requirements are met correctly and safely.
