What is the EB-3 Visa Program?

The EB-3 Visa Program is for employers who have year-round operations and anticipate a shortage of qualified U.S. workers for permanent, nonseasonal, full-time positions.

Many employers are facing a chronic shortage of unskilled workers.

In many cases, it is forcing the closing of locations and/or the reduction of hours.

This program allows U.S. employers to file employment-based green cards for prospective employees.

The EB-3 program was established with the Immigration and Nationalization Act of 1990.

These employment-based visas are permanent, and they are designed to assist U.S. businesses to recruit and retain permanent foreign national workers.

The EB-3 Visa provides your employee with permanent resident status which is good for 10 years and is renewable.

All EB-3 visas include the option for the applicants to bring his or her spouse and dependent children under 21.

How Long Does the EB-3 Visa Program Take?

Subsequent workers will take 11-15 months to arrive.
