What is the EB-3 visa?

The EB-3 visa is a permanent residence (green card) category in the United States aimed at workers who have a job offer in areas requiring specific skills or for positions that do not demand high qualifications. This category is an alternative for skilled workers, professionals with a university degree, and workers performing unskilled functions.

In practice, the EB-3 is divided into three subcategories: skilled workers (for those with professional experience and qualifications meeting the specific job requirements), professionals (usually requiring a bachelor’s degree or equivalent), and other workers (intended for functions that do not require formal qualifications, but need to prove experience in the area).

Each of these subcategories has its own criteria, and the process generally includes certification from the US Department of Labor, as well as a petition to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). It is essential to understand that following all immigration laws and regulations is crucial to ensuring the validity and success of the process.

Therefore, it is always advisable to seek information from official sources and rely on professionals or companies specialized in immigration to clarify doubts and avoid potential scams or campaigns with miraculous promises of approval. Remember: there are no guarantees of results, and each case should be analyzed individually.
