Follow these easy steps to begin your journey toward a permanent career and life in the United States under the EB3 Unskilled Visa Program.

Employer Sponsorship

A U.S. employer offers you a full-time position for an unskilled job (requiring less than 2 years of experience or training).

PERM Labor Certification (LC)

The employer files Form ETA-9089 with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to prove no qualified U.S. worker is available. Once approved, your Priority Date (PD) is issued — this marks your place in the waiting line

I-140 Petition (Immigrant Petition)

The employer files Form I-140 with USCIS. This step confirms:
The job offer is genuine.
The employer can pay the offered wage.
After approval, your priority date is secured permanently

Wait for Your Priority Date to Become Current

Check the U.S. Visa Bulletin (EB3 – Other Workers) every month. You can move to the next stage only when your PD becomes current.

National Visa Center (NVC)

Once your PD is current, the National Visa Center (NVC) will:
Send your Fee Bill for payment.
Request submission of Form DS-260 and civil documents.
When approved, your case becomes Documentarily Qualified (DQ).

Embassy Interview

When a visa slot opens, NVC schedules your interview at the U.S. Embassy. You will:
Complete a medical exam.
Attend the interview and answer questions about your background and job.
If approved, your immigrant visa is stamped on your passport.

Travel & Receive Your Green Card

Travel to the USA within the visa’s validity period. After entry, your Green Card will arrive by mail at your U.S. address. Welcome to your new life as a Permanent Resident!

Grounds for Inadmissibility under the EB3 Unskilled category

Health-Related Issues

Applicants must meet specific health requirements to ensure they do not pose a risk to public health or become a burden on the healthcare system. Certain communicable diseases, lack of vaccinations, or untreated conditions may result in ineligibility unless properly addressed.

Criminal Convictions or Related Offenses

Individuals with criminal convictions or offenses involving moral turpitude, drugs, or violence may be deemed inadmissible. Authorities assess whether the applicant’s background demonstrates good character and lawfulness.

Threats to National Security

Any applicant suspected of involvement in espionage, terrorism, or activities contrary to national interests may be denied entry. Each case is carefully reviewed to ensure public safety and stability.

Risk of Relying on Public Assistance

Applicants must show sufficient financial stability to support themselves without relying on public welfare. Those likely to become a “public charge” may face refusal unless they can prove adequate resources or sponsorship.

Fraud or Misrepresentation

Providing false or misleading information, including forged documents or misrepresented facts, is a serious violation that can result in application denial, visa cancellation, or permanent entry bans.

Unlawful Presence or Deportation History

Applicants with prior visa overstays, illegal entries, or deportation records may be found inadmissible. Re-entry may require special waivers depending on the severity of past violations.

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.
