U.S. Permanent Residency for Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Unskilled Labor
The EB-3 visa is a U.S. immigrant visa for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers who have a full-time job offer from a U.S. employer. It provides a direct path to a Green Card and permanent residency for foreign nationals with qualifying employment and experience.
At Borderless Lawyers, we assist both employers and employees with the EB-3 process—ensuring compliance, documentation, and timely filing from start to finish.
