EB-3 Visa FAQs

EB-3 Visa Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to the most common EB-3 immigration questions below.

No. To qualify for an EB-3 visa, you must first receive a valid job offer from a U.S. employer who agrees to sponsor your petition. Self-sponsorship is not permitted under this category.

You don’t have to be fluent, but you should be able to understand and follow basic instructions in English. This is essential for communication and maintaining safety in the workplace.

Skilled workers are those whose positions require at least two years of training or experience. The unskilled, or “other workers,” category covers jobs that need less than two years of experience or training.

There is no upper age limit. However, you must be at least 18 years old to qualify for employment-based immigration.

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 can apply for immigrant visas or green cards as your dependents.

Yes, you can. If you get married before the final step of your immigration process, your spouse can be added as a dependent. The final stage refers to Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing. Ideally, your spouse should be included when filing the I-140 petition after your PERM approval.

Yes. Once your EB-3 visa is approved, you receive lawful permanent resident status (a green card), allowing you to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely.

You can track your priority date through the U.S. Department of State’s monthly Visa Bulletin. It shows which dates are currently eligible for visa processing.

Yes. The U.S. government sets annual limits on how many EB-3 visas can be issued for each country and category. When the demand is higher than the available number, visa backlogs occur.

Yes. We carefully choose the employers we bring into our program to ensure they are serious, committed, and fully informed about the EB-3 process. They value long-term workforce planning, not temporary fixes, and see this as a partnership built on trust and growth.

No. A refusal of a non-immigrant visa does not impact your EB-3 application. Non-immigrant visas are discretionary, while immigrant visas must be approved unless there is dishonesty or a serious immigration violation.

If you are currently in the U.S. on a valid visa, you may be able to apply for Adjustment of Status instead of Consular Processing. Consult an immigration attorney to confirm eligibility.

You can only work if you already hold a visa that grants work authorization, such as an F-1 with OPT or an H-2B. Otherwise, you must wait until you receive your immigrant visa and enter as a permanent resident.

Yes. We review the latest processing time updates for each stage — PERM, I-140, and Visa Bulletin — and guide you on how to check these updates yourself. We also respond promptly to any questions you have throughout your journey.
