The EB-3 program is a category of employment-based immigration in the United States aimed at foreign workers with job offers for unskilled labor positions.
The EB-3C category specifically targets unskilled workers, sometimes referred to as “Other Workers.”
These are individuals who are capable of performing unskilled labor, requiring less than two years of training or experience.
What is EB-3 Unskilled Worker Program
The EB-3C visa is for people who can do an unskilled job. Examples of these jobs are cleaning, working in factories, or doing maintenance.
- For foreign workers with a U.S. employer offering a full-time, permanent unskilled labor position (less than 2 years of experience or training required).
- Allows applicants to bring spouses and unmarried children under 21 for Green Cards.
- Advertised advantages on Mercan’s website include:
- No requirements for education, work experience, language testing, or net worth.
- Faster processing times than other EB-3 categories.
How to qualify
To qualify for an EB-3C visa, the person’s employer must prove that there are no Americans who can do the job, and they must also show that hiring this person won’t hurt the wages or working conditions of other workers in the U.S.
If everything is approved, the foreign worker can apply for an EB-3C visa, which, if approved, grants them permanent residency in the United States.
It’s important to note that there are annual limits on the number of EB-3 visas issued, which can result in waiting periods for applicants from certain countries.
