The EB-3 visa is one of the employment-based immigration categories in the United States and was created to allow workers with different levels of preparation to contribute to the North American economy.

It caters to a variety of professionals, always considering the qualifications and experience required for the position. Within EB-3, there are three main subcategories:

1. Skilled Workers: aimed at professionals with at least two years of training or experience in the occupation.
2. Professionals: intended for applicants with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, for roles compatible with their education.
3. Unskilled Workers: for occupations that require less than two years of experience, aligned with the labor availability in the US.

It is essential to follow immigration laws and consult reliable sources, avoiding misleading offers and seeking specialized guidance to ensure compliance with current regulations.
