Introducing the U.S. EB-3 Visa
Are you seeking legal work and residence in the U.S.?
At U.S. Direct Hire, we connect you with U.S. employers willing to offer you a job and sponsor your employment. The EB-3 Visa provides eligible Foreign Nationals with permanent residency (Green Card) status and a pathway to U.S. Citizenship.
What is the U.S. EB-3 Visa?
The EB-3 (Employment-Based Third Preference) visa category was established as part of the Immigration Act of 1990. The act made significant changes to the U.S. immigration system, including creating various employment-based immigrant visa categories, one of which is the EB-3 Unskilled (other workers). This visa category enables eligible U.S. Employers, who are struggling to find unskilled workers, to sponsor a Foreign National's green card through a full-time, permanent job offer. Foreign Nationals from any country and with any education level may apply for the EB-3 Unskilled Visa if they meet the following criteria:
A qualified U.S. Employer (Sponsor) is willing to petition for the Foreign National
There are no available domestic workers suitable for the position
The Foreign National commits to a full-time, permanent job with the Sponsor

The EB-3 Visa processing time can vary depending on factors such as case complexity, nationality, and visa availability. However, it typically takes 2 -4 years or more. The process involves three different government agencies.
For Step 1, the Employer must obtain a Labor Certification (LC) from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) proving that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position.
For Step 2, once the LC is approved, the Employer files the Form I-140 Petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) providing documentation on the Candidate.
For Step 3, depending upon whether you are already in the U.S., once the Priority Date is current, the application will be submitted to the National Visa Center (NVC), and the Candidate will either interview at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in their home country; or Adjust their status by filing Form I-485 with the USCIS.
Upon completion of the process, you will receive an immigrant visa in your passport and you can travel to the U.S. and become a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) upon arrival. You may then begin your full-time permanent work for your Sponsor!
Best of all, after you have been in the U.S. for five years in good standing as a Permanent Resident, you may apply for U.S. citizenship. Citizenship will allow you the right to vote, hold public office, obtain and travel with a U.S. passport, and utilize various benefits and legal protections.
