What kind of job offer is not accepted?

The EB-3 visa is intended for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers who qualify for positions that require, respectively, certain skills or levels of education. An essential step in the process is to present a genuine and concrete job offer, made by a United States employer, that demonstrates the need to fill a permanent position and complies with the Department of Labor’s requirements.

In general terms, job offers that do not meet the formally established criteria are not accepted. For example, proposals promoting temporary jobs, self-employment, or those not based on a real employment relationship do not qualify for the EB-3 visa.

The employer must initiate the labor certification process (known as PERM), and the position must be genuinely permanent and offer a salary consistent with the market, according to the relevant department’s standards.

Moreover, offers that appear fraudulent or are presented as shortcuts to obtaining the visa-often accompanied by marketing campaigns with promises of guaranteed results-may pose serious risks. It is crucial to verify all documentation and ensure that both the offer and the hiring company comply with United States immigration laws.

This diligence helps avoid future complications and ensures the process follows stipulated regulations. Staying informed and seeking reliable sources is always best practice. Remember that strictly following immigration law is essential for a successful process, avoiding any situation that could be interpreted as an attempt to obtain the visa irregularly.
