Who decides the final issuance of the EB-3 visa?

The EB-3 visa is an option for professionals, skilled workers, and unskilled workers who wish to immigrate to the United States through a job offer. The process consists of several stages, starting with the petition approval by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), followed by consular processing for applicants outside the country or, alternatively, adjustment of status for those already in the United States.

In the end, the decision on the issuance of the EB-3 visa lies with the consular officer of the U.S. Department of State, in the case of processing abroad. This officer is responsible for conducting the interview and assessing whether all requirements and documentation comply with U.S. immigration laws.

Even after the petition is approved by USCIS, only the visa approval by the consular officer guarantees permanent entry into the country. It is essential to strictly follow the immigration laws and regulations of the United States during this process.

Seeking guidance from official sources and consulting specialized companies or professionals can help avoid complications and scams. Always be cautious with advertisements and promises of guaranteed results, as each case is individually reviewed by the competent authorities.
