Professional Worker Visa
The EB-3 visa is available to - professionals with a baccalaureate degree who do not qualify for a higher preference
category
- skilled workers with a minimum of two years training and experience
- other workers with less than two years' training or experience
Professionals must have a U.S. baccalaureate degree or
foreign equivalent normally required for the profession. Experience may not be substituted.
Skilled worker positions cannot be seasonal or temporary.
At least two years of experience or training is
required. Training may be met through
post-secondary vocational education. Form ETA-750 (Labor Certification) is used
to state the job requirements. For more information, consult the Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration Website.
Other workers fill positions that require less than two
years of higher education, training, or experience, such as unskilled labor for
which qualified workers are not available in the United States. However, there is
often a backlog of years for a visa in this category, depending on the number of
applicants from the country of the worker's nationality.
The U.S. employer must file a Form I-140 with the USCIS
Service Center that services the area where the employee will work. All petitions must be accompanied by a labor
certification from the U.S. Department of Labor and a permanent, full-time job offer.
