The EB-3 visa is a U.S. employment-based immigrant visa category that provides a pathway to lawful permanent residence for qualified foreign workers who have a qualifying permanent, full-time job offer from a U.S. employer. The category is divided into three principal classifications: skilled workers, professionals, and other workers.

At SRC Ecoplastic Fund VII, LLC, our EB-3 services are designed to support qualified candidates and employers through the structured employment-based immigration process. We focus on helping applicants understand the requirements, documentation, employment opportunity, and major stages involved in pursuing an EB-3 immigration pathway.

EB-3 Skilled Workers

The EB-3 Skilled Worker category generally applies to positions requiring at least two years of training or experience. The applicant must meet the requirements of the offered position and demonstrate the qualifications specified in the applicable labor certification.

This category can be relevant to experienced workers whose professional background matches a qualifying permanent position offered by a U.S. employer.

EB-3 Professionals

The EB-3 Professional category is intended for qualifying positions that require a U.S. bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent, with the applicant meeting the educational requirements of the offered position.

The applicant’s education and professional background must correspond to the requirements established for the sponsored position. Proper documentation is therefore an important part of preparing an EB-3 case.

EB-3 Other Workers

The EB-3 Other Workers category covers certain permanent positions requiring less than two years of training or experience, provided the employment is not temporary or seasonal.

This classification can provide an employment-based immigration pathway for qualified workers who do not meet the requirements of the skilled-worker or professional classifications.

Employer Sponsorship

Unlike EB-5, EB-3 is fundamentally an employment-based immigration process rather than an investment-based program. A qualifying U.S. employer generally sponsors the foreign worker for a specific permanent employment position.

The employer must establish that the offered position meets the applicable requirements and that the employer has the ability to pay the offered wage. USCIS may evaluate the employer’s ability to pay from the applicable priority date onward.

PERM Labor Certification

For many EB-3 cases, the process begins with the U.S. Department of Labor’s permanent labor certification process, commonly known as PERM.

The labor certification process is intended to establish that there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available for the offered position and that employing the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

This stage can involve determining the appropriate occupation and requirements, obtaining a prevailing wage determination, conducting the required recruitment activities, and preparing the labor certification application.

The I-140 Petition

After the labor certification is approved when required, the sponsoring employer generally files Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Workers, with USCIS.

The petition must establish that the employer and offered position qualify for the requested EB-3 classification and that the foreign worker meets the requirements of the position. USCIS also evaluates relevant evidence concerning the employer and beneficiary.

Priority Date and Visa Availability

An important component of the EB-3 process is the applicant’s priority date. For cases requiring labor certification, the priority date is generally established when the Department of Labor accepts the labor certification application for processing.

An approved I-140 petition does not automatically mean that an immigrant visa or adjustment of status is immediately available. Visa availability is subject to the applicable employment-based preference category and the Visa Bulletin issued by the U.S. Department of State.

Consular Processing or Adjustment of Status

Once the necessary petition is approved and an immigrant visa is available, the applicant may generally proceed through immigrant visa processing at a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad, or through adjustment of status in the United States if eligible.

The appropriate route depends on the applicant’s location, current immigration status, visa availability, and individual circumstances. USCIS confirms that employment-based immigration can proceed through immigrant visa processing abroad or adjustment of status for eligible applicants in the United States.

Our EB-3 Support

SRC Ecoplastic Fund VII, LLC provides a structured platform for individuals exploring employment-based immigration opportunities through the EB-3 category. Our objective is to help qualified candidates understand the employment opportunity, eligibility requirements, documentation, and overall immigration pathway.

We emphasize clear communication and organized preparation because EB-3 cases involve multiple parties, including the sponsoring employer, the applicant, the U.S. Department of Labor, USCIS, and, where applicable, the U.S. Department of State.

Candidate Evaluation

A strong EB-3 process begins with determining whether the candidate’s background corresponds to the requirements of the offered position.

Depending on the EB-3 classification, relevant qualifications may include education, professional training, previous employment experience, certifications, and other evidence demonstrating that the applicant meets the requirements stated in the labor certification and immigration petition.

Foreign educational and employment documents may also require appropriate translations and supporting documentation.

Employer and Job Requirements

The employment opportunity is central to an EB-3 case. The position must satisfy the applicable requirements for the selected classification, and the employer must comply with the relevant labor and immigration requirements.

The employer must also demonstrate its ability to pay the proffered wage under applicable regulations. This requirement is an important part of the employer-sponsored immigration process.

A Structured EB-3 Process

Our approach is centered on a structured progression from initial assessment through the relevant stages of the immigration process. This may include reviewing the candidate’s background, identifying an appropriate employment opportunity, coordinating required documentation, supporting the applicable labor certification process, preparing the immigration petition with qualified professionals, and assisting with the subsequent immigration stages.

Because EB-3 immigration involves legal requirements that can vary according to the position, employer, worker classification, country of chargeability, and visa availability, each case should be evaluated individually.

Long-Term U.S. Immigration Opportunity

EB-3 can provide a pathway toward lawful permanent residence for qualified foreign workers and their eligible family members, subject to applicable immigration requirements and visa availability.

For workers seeking a long-term career and future in the United States, an employment-based immigration strategy can represent an important opportunity to combine professional employment with a potential pathway to permanent residence.
