What is the EB-3 Visa?
The EB-3 Visa, also known as the Employment-Based Third Preference Visa, provides a pathway for essential talent to live and work permanently in the United States. This visa was created to serve the American economy by making high quality foreign talent available for industries facing shortages of essential workers domestically.
With the EB-3 Visa, essential talent can secure permanent residency while contributing to mission-critical sectors such as logistics and supply chains, precision manufacturing, advanced assembly and quality control.
Industries Hiring Under EB-3:
Logistics & Supply-Chain Optimization
Advanced Manufacturing & Precision Assembly
Quality Control and Assurance Roles in Many Industries and Sectors
Who Can Apply?
1
Skilled Workers
Roles that demand two or more years of proven experience or formal training in vital operational functions.
2
Professionals
Positions that require at least a U.S. bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) and tap your higher-level expertise.
3
Other Essential Talent
Roles in logistics, advanced light-industry, and similar fields where general competence, general working experience, and polished soft skills outweigh specific credentials and experience.
All three categories fall under the EB-3 employment-based green-card program.
