EB-3 immigrants ( Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Workers / Other Workers ) in the United States are immigration policies designed to meet certain labor shortages in the United States and recruit qualified skilled workers. It stipulates that as long as you get a long-term employment guarantee license from an American employer, you can get a labor card and apply for immigration. Therefore, any large employer in the United States can obtain an EB-3 immigrant visa as long as they make a long-term work guarantee and submit it to the immigration office for approval.

Compared with skilled immigrants in other countries, EB-3 immigrants in the United States have no language requirements, bachelor 's degree or more than 5 years of work experience.

You can choose to adjust the identity of i485 in the United States or conduct immigration interviews in China, both steps can get the green card. After the approval of the I-140, the U.S. Green Card is usually available within one year, depending on the scheduling situation and the integrity of the notarized information. However, as long as the I-140 is approved, the next step is to go through the process, and the green card is within reach.
