Does the EB-3 terminate my previous visa?

The EB-3 category is an option for individuals who wish to permanently settle in the United States through employment, serving as a pathway to the green card. It is important to understand that when choosing the EB-3, you are applying for an immigrant classification, which may differ from other temporary entry visas you may already hold.

In practice, the EB-3 process leads to permanent residency and does not necessarily terminate a previous visa, especially if it is non-immigrant in nature, such as tourism or business. However, if you decide to change your status to EB-3, authorities will monitor the transition and may require measures to maintain your status during the process.

It is essential to follow U.S. immigration laws and consult specialists to avoid issues and ensure a safe and compliant procedure. Stay attentive to official guidelines and seek reliable sources throughout the process.
