What Are EB-2 and EB-3 Visas?

EB-2 and EB-3 visas are immigrant visa categories, meaning they lead to a green card, based on employment in the United States. Unlike temporary work visas, these provide permanent status and a long-term future in the country.

  • EB-2 is for professionals with advanced degrees (Master’s or higher) or individuals with exceptional ability in sciences, business, or the arts.
  • EB-3 is for skilled workers with at least two years of experience, professionals with a bachelor’s degree, and certain unskilled workers filling labor shortages.

Most EB-2 and EB-3 petitions require:

  • A permanent job offer from a U.S. employer
  • A PERM Labor Certification from the Department of Labor
  • A formal petition and supporting documentation filed with USCIS

Whether you’re just exploring your options or ready to apply, we’ll help you understand what category fits best, and how to move forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between EB-2 and EB-3 visas?

EB-2 is for professionals with advanced degrees or exceptional ability, while EB-3 includes skilled workers, professionals with a bachelor’s degree, and certain unskilled workers. We’ll help you choose the category that aligns with your job and background.

Do I need a job offer for EB-2 or EB-3?

Yes, most cases require a permanent, full-time job offer from a U.S. employer along with a PERM Labor Certification. However, EB-2 National Interest Waiver applicants can self-petition without a job offer.

How long does the EB-2 or EB-3 process take?

Processing time varies based on the applicant’s country of birth, priority date, and category. On average, it can take 12 to 24 months, but we help you understand what to expect at each stage.

What is the PERM Labor Certification?

PERM is the Department of Labor’s process for confirming that no qualified U.S. workers are available for the position. It’s a crucial first step in most EB-2 and EB-3 cases.

Can my family come with me?
Can I adjust status while in the U.S.?

If you’re already in the U.S. and meet the requirements, you may be able to apply for a green card through Adjustment of Status. If you’re abroad, we’ll guide you through Consular Processing.

What if my petition is delayed or denied?

We can help troubleshoot issues, respond to RFEs, and file motions or appeals if necessary. Our goal is always to get your case back on track quickly and effectively.

What’s the benefit of moving from H-1B to EB-2 or EB-3?

Employment-based green cards offer permanent status, fewer restrictions, and a clearer long-term future. Many H-1B holders transition to EB categories to secure their place in the U.S. long-term.
