Introducing the U.S. EB-3 Visa

Start Your Journey to the U.S. with the EB-3 Visa

At U.S. Direct Hire, we match you with U.S. employers who are ready to offer you a job and sponsor your permanent residency. The EB-3 Visa gives qualified foreign nationals a path to a Green Card—and eventually, U.S. Citizenship.

What is the U.S. EB-3 Visa?

Created by the Immigration Act of 1990, the EB-3 Unskilled Worker visa allows U.S. employers who can’t find local workers to sponsor foreign nationals for full-time, permanent jobs. No degree or experience is required—just a willingness to work hard and stay committed. To qualify, you must:

Have a U.S. Employer willing to sponsor you
Commit to a full-time, permanent job
Fill a role with no available American workers

It's that simple. To find out if you're a good fit, please click here and take a minute to complete our no-obligation Eligibility Form.

How the EB-3 Process Works

Getting an EB-3 Visa can take a long time - usually between 2 to 4 years or more. The timeline depends on how complicated the case is, your country of birth, and how many visas are available. Three U.S. government agencies are involved in the process

Step 1: Proving No U.S. Workers Are Available
First, the employer must get approval from the U.S. Department of Labor. This shows that no qualified American workers are available for the job.

Step 2: Employer Files a Petition
Once approved, the employer sends Form I-140 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This proves you are a good match for the job.

Step 3: Visa or Green Card Application
When your case is ready, you will either:

Interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country, or
Apply for a green card from inside the U.S. (if you're already here) using Form I-485.

What Happens Next
Once approved, you’ll get a visa in your passport and can travel to the U.S. You’ll become a permanent resident (green card holder) and can start your full-time job with your sponsor.

The Best Part
After living in the U.S. for five years as a permanent resident, you can apply to become a U.S. citizen. That means you can vote, hold public office, travel with a U.S. passport, and enjoy many rights and protections.
