EB3 is the third preference of the US employment-based immigrant visa. It is one of the five employment-based green card categories that enables foreign professionals to live and work in the US permanently. It is designed for 3 categories of applicants, namely Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled or Other Workers. You may qualify for the EB3 Visa if you meet the requirements under one of the 3 categories. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines each of the 3 categories as follows:

• Skilled Worker: workers who have at least 2 years experience in their area of expertise.
• Professional: workers who have higher degrees and require a professional license to work
• Unskilled or other Worker: workers who can handle jobs which qualified workers are not available to handle

Due to its relatively easy eligibility criteria, people who don’t qualify for the EB1 green card and EB2 green card categories leverage the EB3 Visa to immigrate and secure employment in the US.
