What Is EB-3 Program
If you want to immigrate to the United States, and you have the right combination of skills, education, and work experience, you may be eligible for an employment-based visa. Every fiscal year, approximately 140,000 employment-based immigrant visas are made available to qualified applicants under the provisions of the U.S. immigration law. Out of this 28.6% or around 40,040 visas are allocated for the EB-3.
What Are The EB3 Unskilled Visa Requirements
