The EB-3 immigrants in the United States, also known as the immigrants guaranteed by the United States employers, are the third priority category of professional immigrants in the United States. We usually call them "Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers/Other Workers", that is, the United States Immigration Act sec.203 (b) (3). It is mainly an immigration policy formulated to meet the shortage of some labor markets in the United States and recruit qualified skilled workers. According to the regulations, as long as you get a long-term employment guarantee permit from an American employer, you can get a labor card and apply for immigration. So any large-scale employer in the United States can get an EB-3 immigrant visa if he / she makes a guarantee permit for long-term work and submits it to the Immigration Bureau for approval.
Compared with skilled immigrants from other countries, there is no language requirement for EB-3 immigrants in the United States, with a bachelor's degree or more than 5 years of work experience. The non-technical category is mainly to solve the labor shortage in the United States, with lower requirements. That's the advantage of EB-3. If you are a skilled worker, professional or other worker, you may be suitable for this priority immigration visa.
According to sec.203 (b) (3) of the U.S. immigration law, the EB-3 immigration category is the same as the EB2 regular immigration application, which requires a firm U.S. employer who meets the employer guarantee conditions, provides a long-term employment guarantee, applies for a labor certificate (PERM) for foreign employees, and submits an I-140 immigration application. Foreign employees are the beneficiaries of the U.S. green card.
The approval of I-140 means that the green card qualification is approved. You can choose i485 to adjust your identity in the United States, or to conduct immigration interviews in China. These two steps can get a green card. After the approval of I-140, you can usually get the U.S. green card within one year, depending on the scheduling situation at that time and the integrity of the notarized data. But as long as the I-140 is approved, the next step is to follow the process, and getting the green card is within your reach.
