EB-3 Visa Process Explained Step by Step
March 16, 2026 · 8 min read
Understand the EB-3 journey from labor certification to green card, one step at a time.
Step 1: The Job Offer
EB-3 requires a genuine, full-time job offer from a U.S. employer willing to sponsor you.
Step 2: PERM Labor Certification
The employer typically obtains a labor certification (PERM), demonstrating there are no qualified U.S. workers for the role.
Step 3: I-140 Petition
The employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with supporting evidence of the job and your qualifications.
Step 4: Consular Processing or Adjustment
Once a visa number is available, you complete consular processing abroad or adjust status in the U.S. Document accuracy at each stage is critical.
