Is the EB-3 the most common type of Green Card?

When discussing the various pathways to obtain permanent residency in the United States, it is common to have questions regarding the different visa categories. One of the options available within the context of employment-based visas is the EB-3, which is intended for skilled workers, professionals in occupations that require specific training, and even unskilled workers, provided that experience and a job offer are proven.

However, it is important to clarify that the EB-3 is not the most common type of Green Card. In practice, the majority of Green Cards granted come from family ties and, subsequently, from other employment visa categories, such as those aimed at individuals with extraordinary abilities or advanced degrees (for example, EB-1 and EB-2).

Each category has its own requirements and levels of demand, which means the volume of applications can vary significantly. It is worth noting that the EB-3 is an excellent option for many candidates who have a profile compatible with the established criteria, but its choice should be aligned with each individual’s personal and professional situation.

Therefore, it is always essential to strictly follow United States immigration laws and pay close attention to official information, ensuring that procedures are carried out correctly and transparently. Given the volume of information and the number of offers on the market, it is also crucial to seek guidance from reliable professionals or organizations, avoiding scams and marketing campaigns that promise miraculous results. Staying informed and acting within legal parameters is the best strategy to safely and responsibly achieve immigration goals.
