EB-3 Skilled Workers Visa Filing

22.07.2025 17:56:34 The EB-3 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa category in the United States for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. The application process for the EB-3 visa involves several phases: 1. **Labor Certification (PERM Process):** - The employer must first obtain a Permanent Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). This process ensures that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position and that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. - The employer must conduct recruitment efforts to try to find a U.S. worker before applying for labor certification. 2. **Filing Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker):** - Once the PERM labor certification is approved, the employer files Form I-140 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). - The form demonstrates that the employer has the ability to pay the offered wage and that the foreign worker meets all qualifications for the job. 3. **Priority Date:** - After filing Form I-140, a priority date is established based on when the labor certification was filed. - Applicants must wait until their priority date becomes current according to the Visa Bulletin published by the Department of State. 4. **Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing:** - If in the United States, once the priority date is current, eligible applicants can file Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) with USCIS. - If outside of the United States, applicants will go through consular processing at a U.S. embassy or consulate in their home country once their priority date is current. 5. **Interview and Final Decision:** - For adjustment of status within the U.S., an interview may be required at a local USCIS office. - For consular processing, an interview will be conducted at a U.S. embassy or consulate. - Upon successful completion of this phase, if approved, applicants receive their Green Card or immigrant visa. Throughout this process, it’s important to ensure all forms are completed accurately and submitted with necessary documentation within specified timelines. Engaging an immigration attorney can help navigate complex aspects of this phased application process effectively.

22.07.2025 18:11:19 The EB-3 visa process unfolds in three main phases: First, the U.S. employer must complete the PERM labor certification, proving no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role — this takes several months. Second, they file Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) to sponsor the applicant. Once approved and a visa number is available, the third step is either adjustment of status (Form I-485) if the applicant is in the U.S., or consular processing abroad. Each stage requires detailed documentation and timing depends on country-specific visa backlogs.

22.07.2025 18:15:15 The EB-3 process begins with the employer obtaining PERM labor certification, confirming a lack of able U.S. workers. After that, they submit Form I-140 to petition for you as a skilled worker. Once approved and when your priority date becomes current, you proceed to either adjust status within the U.S. or go through visa processing at a U.S. consulate. This phased process can take 12–24 months or more, depending on your country of origin and USCIS or DOL backlogs.
