A Complete Guide to US EB3 Visas: Application process, Requirements, Fee, Conditions.

In the US, the EB3 visa allows three types of workers to go to the country permanently and work. The number of visas issued each year is limited for the EB3 visa. EB3 visas account for 28.6% or around 40,040 of the total 140,000 visas issued in the employment category. In the event that this quota has been reached for the year, the remainder of the applications will be held over for the following year. If you don’t want to miss out, watch our video till the end.

excelent video, just one question? if I am in the USA on a student Visa(F1/F2) how does the status change work? Thank you

[@visalibrary]

If you are currently in the United States on an F-1 visa, you can convert to an F-2 visa by completing Form I-539 and submitting it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). After form submission, you will get a new initial Form I-20 from your authorized school official (DSO). You must also pay the I-901 SEVIS cost. After that, you can apply for an F-2 visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy. To be eligible for F-2 status, you must apply for an F-2 I-20 and submit proof of financial support and paperwork proving you are currently in lawful non-immigrant status. If your F-2 visa application is granted and your F-2 visa is issued, you may re-enter the United States using your F-2 I-20 form and F-2 visa. Your F-2 status will be checked at the Port of Entry. You can also convert your status from F-1 to F-2 by traveling outside the United States, applying for an F-2 visa type at a U.S. consulate, and returning to the United States with your new F-2 visa.

[@visalibrary]

The time it takes from the acceptance of your I-140 petition to the scheduling of your EB-3 visa interview can vary significantly depending on your country of chargeability and visa availability. It's crucial to monitor the Visa Bulletin for updates on priority date cutoffs, which determine when your interview can be scheduled. For a more accurate estimate, contact the National Visa Center (NVC) for the latest information on your case.

No, you can't do it. You must remain in your home country until your EB-3 visa application is accepted. If you leave while your application is still pending, it will be withdrawn automatically. Also, you cannot apply for both an EB-3 and a B2 visa at the same time; you must choose one or the other.

You may be qualified to petition for adjustment of status if you are legally residing in the United States in a legitimate non-immigrant status. The process of changing from non-immigrant to permanent resident status while in the United States is known as adjustment of status.

[@cdfj5888]

If I have an M1 student visa, can I adjust it to an EB3 or H1B visa ???

[@visalibrary]

Yes, you can change your M1 student visa to an EB3 or H1B visa in the United States. However, the process can be pretty complicated, and you should thoroughly investigate the requirements and processes for each visa category before applying. An H1B visa normally requires a job offer from a US business and proof that you have the relevant skills and education for the position. You must also show that you have the financial means to support yourself for the visa period. You must receive a full-time work offer from your company and meet specific educational and/or professional standards to qualify for an EB3 visa. You must also show that you have the financial means to support yourself for the period of your visa. Again, before beginning the application process, it is critical to research the precise requirements for each visa category.

[@dansharkito]

can I start working with the company willing to sponsor me while the whole application process for the visa is filed and in progress? or do I have to wait until the eventual positive outcome of it and then I can start working?

[@visalibrary]

You may be able to begin working for a company that is supporting you for a US EB-3 visa while your application is being processed. But, to begin working lawfully in the United States, you must first obtain the necessary work license. While your EB-3 visa application is being processed, you may need to obtain a temporary work visa or an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). It is crucial to note that the US EB-3 visa application procedure can be lengthy, lasting several months to many years, depending on variables like the number of applicants and the backlog of visa applications. You should speak with an immigration attorney for advice on the required work authorization and to guarantee that all applicable laws and regulations are followed.

EB-3 Visa, unskilled category is reserved for some selected countries only or can apply from all country’s citizens?

The EB-3 Visa in the unskilled category is available to citizens of all countries, not just selected ones. It's designed for workers who perform unskilled labor that requires less than two years of training or experience, and there's no restriction based on the applicant's country of citizenship. Eligibility is determined by the availability of a job offer from a U.S. employer and the Department of Labor's certification requirements, among other criteria.

The difficulty of obtaining a U.S. EB-3 visa varies by subcategory. Skilled workers and professionals have a clearer path, while "Other Workers" may face longer waits due to annual quotas. If you're already in the U.S. on a different status, you'd need to adjust your status to EB-3, and leaving the country without proper authorization could affect your application. It's wise to consult an immigration attorney or USCIS for current guidance.

[@visalibrary]

For your career in cake baking, catering, event planning, and decoration, the US EB-3 visa could be a suitable option. With a degree in Home Economics and relevant professional courses, you meet the educational qualifications for the EB-3 visa. However, keep in mind that the EB-3 visa process can take some time, so if you plan to attend an event planner conference in April 2024, you may need to plan accordingly and consider the timing of your visa application. Additionally, consulting with an immigration attorney can provide you with personalized guidance on your specific situation.

MY sister has a right hand birth disability but she can preform most of the nurshing procedures and can even ride a motorbike just can't straighten her right hand as long as left one. she is planning to take nclex exam. will there be any problem for her to get eb3 visa or any other such problem? PLEASE ANSWER!

[@visalibrary]

In the context of the U.S. EB-3 visa, which is for skilled workers and professionals, a right hand birth disability should not, by itself, pose a problem for obtaining the visa. The EB-3 visa primarily focuses on a person's qualifications, such as their education, work experience, and job offer, rather than physical disabilities. If your sister can meet the requirements for the specific job and occupation she intends to work in, including passing the NCLEX exam, then her disability should not be a barrier to obtaining the EB-3 visa. The most crucial factors are her qualifications, the job offer, and the labor certification process.

Yes, individuals from Iran can apply for unskilled worker positions in the U.S., just like individuals from other countries. However, it's important to note that the U.S. immigration system has specific visa categories and requirements for different types of work. For unskilled or low-skilled positions, individuals often apply for visas such as the H-2B visa, which is a temporary non-immigrant visa for non-agricultural workers.

Yes, for an EB-3 visa applicant from India, if the priority date (PD) is not current, they cannot proceed with the final steps of obtaining their visa and therefore cannot start working in the U.S. under that visa category until their PD becomes current. This means if you apply now and your PD is set based on the current date, you will need to wait until the Visa Bulletin indicates that your PD is current before you can finalize your visa process and begin work in the U.S. This wait can be lengthy due to the high demand and per-country caps, especially for countries like India.

[@visalibrary]

It is feasible to sponsor a skilled worker from Pakistan under the EB3 immigration category in the United States. The conditions for this sort of visa are often more stringent than for others, and include a legitimate work offer from a U.S. business, as well as other credentials. In your instance, it may be advisable to delay filing the visa application until the restaurant is open and running. In addition to the employment offer, you must establish your ability to pay the worker's wage and present confirmation of your financial stability. You will also need to show that the post cannot be completed by a qualified American worker. It is crucial to understand that sponsoring a qualified worker from Pakistan can be a complicated and time-consuming procedure. It is best to get the advice of an experienced immigration attorney who can guide you through the procedure and guarantee that all documentation and filing requirements are satisfied.

So what is the easiest way to move to 🇺🇸 🌎 usa

[@visalibrary]

The easiest way to move to the USA depends on your individual circumstances, including your skills, education, family connections, and financial situation. Here are some common pathways: Family Sponsorship: If you have immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, they can sponsor you for a green card. This includes spouses, parents, children, and siblings of U.S. citizens. Employment-Based Visas: If you have a job offer from a U.S. employer, you can apply for an employment-based visa such as: EB-1: For individuals with extraordinary abilities, outstanding professors or researchers, or multinational executives. EB-2: For professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities. EB-3: For skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. H-1B: For specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree or higher. Diversity Visa Lottery: The Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery program provides a limited number of visas each year to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S. It's a random selection process. Student Visas: If you enroll in a U.S. educational institution, you can apply for a student visa (F-1 or M-1). After completing your studies, you may be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT) and later, possibly transition to an employment-based visa. Investment Visas: If you have substantial financial resources, you can invest in a U.S. business and apply for an EB-5 visa, which requires a significant investment and creation of jobs. Asylum or Refugee Status: If you are fleeing persecution or dangerous conditions in your home country, you may apply for asylum or refugee status. Fiancé(e) Visa: If you are engaged to a U.S. citizen, they can sponsor you for a K-1 visa, allowing you to enter the U.S. and marry within 90 days.

[@visalibrary]

Yes, if you match the criteria and can establish that your foreign baccalaureate degree is equal to a U.S. bachelor degree, you can apply for the EB3 visa. The petitioning employer must file an ETA Form 9089 with the Department of Labor in order to do so. The Department of Labor will subsequently award you a permanent labor certification, allowing your business to hire you as a foreign worker. Following that, you must file a USCIS I-140 petition, and if granted, you will be given instructions on what papers to bring to your interview at the US Embassy. To guarantee that you are qualified for the EB3 visa and that you can successfully receive a green card to reside in the United States, it is critical that you understand the whole procedure, from the labor certification PERM process to the I-140 petition. If you have any concerns or need assistance with your application, please contact a knowledgeable immigration attorney.

Can eb3 skilled professionals prize is low than unskilled eb3 Thanks

[@visalibrary]

The cost associated with applying for an EB-3 visa, whether for skilled professionals or unskilled workers, is generally the same in terms of the filing fees for the necessary forms and the processing fees required by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The main difference in cost may arise from the specifics of the job offer and the employment situation, not from the visa application process itself. The EB-3 visa category is divided into three subcategories: skilled workers, professionals, and other workers (unskilled), but the USCIS fees for petitioning are typically uniform across these categories.

Yes, individuals on H1B visas in the USA can apply for an EB-3 green card, which is generally meant for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. Whether it's faster than your employer-based green card (EB-2 or EB-1) depends on factors like your specific qualifications, your country of chargeability, and visa demand. Both categories require a priority date, and processing times vary based on demand and country-specific factors. It's advisable to consult with your employer's immigration department or an immigration attorney to determine the most suitable green card category based on your qualifications and your employer's eligibility and willingness to sponsor you. Monitoring the Visa Bulletin for visa availability updates is also essential in making an informed decision.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in science as well as a post grad diploma in management but have been working as a freelancer, will i qualify for skilled or unskilled?

[@visalibrary]

For the U.S. EB-3 visa category, which encompasses skilled workers, professionals, and other workers (including unskilled labor), your eligibility largely depends on the nature of the job offer you receive from a U.S. employer and your qualifications relative to that job. Given your Bachelor's degree in science and postgraduate diploma in management, you would likely qualify under the "professionals" category of the EB-3 visa if the job offer you receive requires at least a U.S. baccalaureate degree or a foreign equivalent. This is because the "professionals" category is specifically for jobs that require at least a bachelor’s degree as a minimum entry requirement. If your freelancing experience is in a field that relates to your degree and the job offer you have aligns with your qualifications and professional background, this would strengthen your case for the EB-3 visa as a professional. However, if the job does not require a degree, it might fall under the "skilled workers" category, which requires at least two years of job experience or training, or the "other workers" category for unskilled labor that requires less than two years of training or experience. Ultimately, whether you qualify as a skilled or unskilled worker for EB-3 visa purposes will depend on the specific requirements of the job offer in relation to your educational background and work experience. It's advisable to consult with an immigration lawyer or a U.S. employer willing to sponsor you for a more precise determination based on your individual circumstances.

[@visalibrary]

If you're a professional in automotive body repair and auto painting seeking an EB-3 visa in the US, the process involves several key steps. Firstly, you need to secure a job offer from a US employer in your field. Following this, your employer must obtain a labor certification from the US Department of Labor, demonstrating that there are no qualified US workers for your position. After receiving labor certification, your employer will file Form I-140, the Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Once this petition is approved, you can proceed with your visa application, which includes submitting various documents to prove your professional skills and experience, attending a medical examination, and going for an interview at a US embassy or consulate. It's advisable to seek assistance from an immigration attorney to navigate this process effectively, especially to ensure all your professional qualifications are adequately presented.

The processing time for a U.S. EB-3 visa can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the applicant's country of origin, the current demand for visas, annual caps, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) workload. Generally, it can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years, but for some countries with high demand, the wait time can be longer due to per-country visa limits. It's important to check the current processing times and the Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State for the most accurate estimate.

Changes to the availability, processing times, or policies governing the EB-3 visa category could potentially occur under different presidential administrations or due to changes in immigration law enacted by Congress. Whether under a future administration, including a potential return of Donald Trump or any other president, the EB-3 visa category could be affected by executive actions, regulatory changes, or legislative reforms, which could either slow down, expedite, or alter the process and requirements for these visas. However, any significant changes would typically require legal processes, including regulatory changes or legislation, to implement. As of the last information available up to April 2023, the EB-3 category remains an effective pathway for immigration, but future operations and policies could vary depending on political and legislative developments.

How can I get an eb3 visa?

[@visalibrary]

To secure a US EB-3 visa, find a job offer, match qualifications, and get your employer to start the process. After approval, file Form I-140. Wait for the priority date, then apply via Form DS-260 (outside US) or adjust status (inside US). Attend an interview if needed and receive the visa. Keep in mind that the process can change, so stay updated with official sources.

Howlong need for approve

[@visalibrary]

The processing time for a U.S. EB-3 visa varies. It could take months to a few years based on factors like your country, job, and application volume. Check the U.S. Department of State's Visa Bulletin and USCIS for the latest processing time information.

If your sponsor supports your tourist visa. You need to find a job and an employer to sponsor you. The time it takes is incalculable. If you are talking about the processing time, it is related to the US officials.

Sir. How about my husband uncle is in the US they want me to take me there because they are in need of caregiver for her wife.. what is the requirements

[@visalibrary]

Hello, For your husband’s uncle to bring you to the U.S. as a caregiver under the EB-3 visa, he would need to offer you a permanent, full-time job. He also has to get a labor certification from the Department of Labor, proving there are no qualified U.S. workers for the position. After that, he must file an I-140 petition with USCIS. It's advisable to consult an immigration attorney to guide you through the process. Good luck!

[@visalibrary]

Hello, For an EB3 visa as a caregiver, your husband's uncle needs to: Job Offer: Provide a permanent, full-time job offer. Labor Certification: Obtain a labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. Immigrant Petition: File Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with USCIS. Visa Application: Once the I-140 is approved and your priority date is current, apply for the visa. Good luck!

How can a foreign dentist can apply for an eb3 visa? skilled or professional?

[@visalibrary]

A foreign dentist can apply for an EB-3 visa either as a skilled worker or as a professional, depending on their qualifications and the job offer they have in the United States. The EB-3 visa category is for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. As a Professional: Dentists would typically fall under the "professional" category because this category requires applicants to have a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent and the job must also require a degree. Since dentistry requires advanced education, a foreign dentist would likely apply under this category. They need to demonstrate that they hold the necessary degree in dentistry and that the job they are applying for in the U.S. requires such qualifications. As a Skilled Worker: In some rare cases, if the position does not require a degree but instead requires at least 2 years of training or work experience, a dentist could theoretically apply under the "skilled worker" category. However, this is less likely for dentists since the profession typically requires advanced degrees and licensure.

Which is better for a tech professional with over 5years experience. That enable the holder to setup business in the USA without a huge financial investment.

[@visalibrary]

For a tech professional with over five years of experience who wishes to set up a business in the USA without a huge financial investment, the EB-3 visa might not be the best option. The EB-3 visa is primarily designed for skilled workers, professionals, or other workers to immigrate based on employment, not for setting up a business. For setting up a business, you might want to explore options such as the E-2 Treaty Investor visa (if you are a national of a country with which the USA has a relevant treaty) or the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which requires a substantial investment but offers a path to setting up a business and obtaining permanent residency. However, the EB-5 also requires a considerable financial investment, which might not align with your criteria of not making a huge financial investment. Another option could be the L-1 visa, particularly if you already have a business outside the US and are looking to expand it into the US. The L-1 visa allows for the transfer of a manager, executive, or specialized knowledge employee from a foreign company to a related US company. While it is not a direct path to setting up a new business, it can be a step towards that goal, especially if you plan to establish a branch or subsidiary of your existing business in the US. For tech professionals specifically looking to leverage their expertise without a significant initial investment, focusing on employment-based opportunities or exploring visas that allow business development indirectly might be more suitable than the EB-3 visa. Consulting with an immigration attorney can provide personalized advice based on the latest regulations and your specific circumstances.

Can a pregnant woman qualify for an EB3visa

[@visalibrary]

Absolutely, provided she fits the eligibility standards, a pregnant woman can apply for a US EB-3 visa. It is crucial to remember, however, that the visa application procedure can take many months, and it is not recommended to go in the later stages of pregnancy. As a result, the lady may wish to postpone her trip to the United States until after the baby is born.

[@yasviseditz9713]

Sir any age limit

[@visalibrary]

There is no specific age limit for the EB-3 visa category itself. However, certain factors such as education, work experience, and job requirements may indirectly impact eligibility based on age. For example, to qualify as a skilled worker (EB-3A), you generally need at least two years of job experience or training, and the job must not be seasonal or temporary. For professionals (EB-3B), a bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent is usually required. The "other workers" category (EB-3C) typically includes jobs that require less than two years of experience or training. While there is no explicit age limit, it's important to note that as you get older, the requirements for certain jobs may become more difficult to meet. Additionally, the labor market and employer preferences can also play a role in determining eligibility.

I don't have a high school diploma, I only have a grade 9 certificate

[@visalibrary]

Unfortunately, you cannot obtain an EB-3 visa with a grade 9 certificate. The EB-3 visa is for skilled workers, professionals, and unskilled workers who need help finding suitable US workers to fill the role. To qualify for the visa, you must have at least two years of job experience or training and have a U.S. bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree related to the field you want to pursue [1]. You must also be performing work for a position that cannot be filled by a US worker and must have a labor certification and a permanent, full-time job offer.
