What is the EB-3 Visa?

The EB-3 Visa is an employment-based (EB) US immigrant visa for permanent residency (Green Card status) in the United States designed for:

– Skilled Foreign Workers

– Professionals

– Other Foreign Workers

Applicants for the EB-3 Visa generally require a qualifying offer of US employment from an eligible sponsoring employer in the United States and must satisfy other criteria.

The EB-3 Green Card allows a skilled immigrant, along with his/her spouse and dependent children (unmarried and under 21 years of age) to live, study and work in the USA for an unlimited time as Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States.

US Permanent Resident Green Cards are generally valid for 10 years and can be renewed for periods of 10 years each time.

After living in the United States as a Green Card holder for at least five years and satisfying other criteria, a US Lawful Permanent Resident has the option to apply for American citizenship.
