Immigrant Visa EB3
The EB3 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa, classified as a third preference visa, intended for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers, such as:
Unskilled Workers (Other Workers)
This refers to a foreign national who is capable, at the time of petitioning for this classification, of performing unskilled labor (requiring less than two years of training or experience), that is not of a temporary or seasonal nature, and for which qualified workers are not available in the United States.
Professionals
This category is for a qualified foreign national who holds at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree or a foreign equivalent degree and is a member of the professions.
Skilled Workers
This refers to a foreign national who is capable, at the time of petitioning for this classification, of performing skilled labor (requiring at least two years of training or experience), that is not of a temporary or seasonal nature, and for which qualified workers are not available in the United States. Relevant post-secondary education may be considered as training for the purposes of this provision.
The distinction between skilled workers and other workers or unskilled workers
Is based on the training and/or experience requirements imposed on the job by the prospective employer, as certified by the Department of Labor. In the case of an occupation listed on Schedule A or an occupation with shortages within the Labor Market Pilot Program, the petitioner must demonstrate to the director that the job is a skilled job, i.e., one that requires at least two years of training and/or experience.
