To effectively obtain a Green Card through the EB-3 visa, follow these steps:

1. Obtain a Labor Certification (PERM)

Your employer must first obtain a labor certification from the U.S. Department o
f Labor (DOL). This involves:

• Job Advertisement: The employer must advertise the job and demonstrate that there are no qualified, willing, and available U.S. workers to fill the position.
• Prevailing Wage Determination: The employer must obtain a prevailing wage determination from the DOL to ensure the wage offered is consistent with regional labor market standards.
• Filing the PERM Application: The employer files ETA Form 9089 with the DOL, providing detailed information about the job and the recruitment process.

2. File the Immigrant Petition (Form I-140)

Once the labor certification is approved, the employer files an Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers (Form I-140) with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This petition demonstrates the job offer exists and that the beneficiary meets the qualifications for the position.

3. Wait for Priority Date to Become Current

After the I-140 petition is approved, you will need to wait for your priority date to become current. This can take anywhere from 1 to 10+ years, depending on your country of origin and the demand for EB-3 visas.

4. Apply for Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing

Once your priority date is current, you can proceed with either adjustment of status (if you are already in the United States) or consular processing (if you are outside the United States):

• Adjustment of Status: File Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, with USCIS.
• Consular Processing: Attend an interview at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country.

5. Complete Medical Examination and Interview

You will need to undergo a medical examination and attend an interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate. Be prepared to provide all necessary documentation and answer questions about your application.

6. Receive Your Green Card

After your application is approved, you and your family members (spouse and unmarried children under 21) will receive your Green Cards, granting you permanent residency in the United States.

By following these steps, you can effectively navigate the EB-3 visa process and increase your chances of obtaining a Green Card. Good luck with your journey!
