The EB-3 visa allows skilled workers, professionals, and other qualified individuals to immigrate to the U.S. for permanent employment. Our California American immigration law firm LLP helps workers and employers navigate the EB-3 process smoothly — from eligibility review to final approval.
Skilled Workers (EB-3A): Individuals with at least two years of training or experience in their field (e.g., designers, supervisors, technicians).
Professionals (EB-3B): Applicants holding a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent, such as engineers, architects, or teachers.
Unskilled Workers (EB-3C): Workers with less than two years of experience, performing non-seasonal, full-time work (e.g., caretakers, nannies, janitors).
Applicants must have a full-time job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor them. The employer must complete the PERM labor certification to prove that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the job. Once certified, the employer files Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) and must offer the prevailing wage and demonstrate the ability to pay.
The EB-3 process starts with labor certification from the Department of Labor, followed by the employer’s I-140 petition. After approval, the applicant receives a priority date and may apply for adjustment of status (Form I-485) if already in the U.S., or proceed with consular processing if abroad. Once approved, the applicant becomes a lawful permanent resident (green card holder).
We assist both employers and employees in completing EB-3 filings correctly, guiding you through each step — from labor certification to green card approval. Our experienced attorneys ensure your documentation meets USCIS standards and help avoid costly delays.

How long does the EB-3 process take? Processing times vary by nationality and demand. It may take several months to years, depending on backlogs.
