How do I know if my employer is qualified to offer EB-3?

When we think about the EB-3 visa, it is essential to understand that it is offered to skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers who have a permanent job offer in the United States. Therefore, before starting the process, it is important to verify whether the employer offering the position meets all the legal requirements established by the Department of Labor (DOL) and the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

To check if your employer is qualified to offer EB-3, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:

1. Valid and Permanent Job Offer: The employer must present a permanent job offer that falls under the EB-3 categories, with documentation proving the continuity of employment.

2. Labor Certification Process (PERM): The employer must initiate and conduct the PERM process to demonstrate that there are no qualified American workers available for the position and that hiring the foreign worker will not affect local salaries or conditions.

3. Financial Capacity: The employer must have financial solidity to pay wages according to the industry and regional standards, maintaining transparency regarding these aspects.

4. Compliance with Immigration Laws: It is essential that the employer is fully compliant with U.S. immigration laws, with no history of irregularities or fraud.

A detailed analysis of the employer’s documents and reputation, as well as guidance from specialized professionals, is recommended, without guarantees of success in the process.

Finally, avoid offers with guaranteed promises and always seek information from reliable sources to minimize risks in the EB-3 visa process.
