WHAT EB-3 PROGRAM CATEGORY IS SUITED FOR APPLICANTS WHO DO NOT POSSESS EDUCATION OR WORK EXPERIENCE?
The EB3 program Unskilled Workers Category is best suited for applicants who do not possess education or work experience as this category does not require any work experience, language testing and educational attainment. Through this program, you will arrive in the US with a permanent, full-time job and permanent residency for you and your family. You will also be able to include your spouse and unmarried children below the age of 21 in your application. They will then be able to work and study in the US as Green Card holders.
CAN I LEAVE MY JOB ONCE I GET MY GREEN CARD?
Under this program, a joint application is filed between the employer and employee with the Department of Labor. In the event the employee fails to fulfill the job duties (i.e. suddenly leave the job) there is a possibility that the employer can file a complaint with the Department of Labor which may result in the termination of his/her Green Card. It is recommended that you stay with the employer for at least one year to avoid any issues such as this.
HOW MUCH DO THESE JOBS USUALLY PAY?
All employers must submit a Prevailing Wage Determination which ensures that they are paying at least the minimum wage set in their state. Salaries vary depending on the job and the area.
WILL I ARRIVE IN THE U.S. WITH MY GREEN CARD?
The Green Card can only be ordered upon arrival in the U.S. In the meantime, the visa is endorsed and serves as a Permanent Residency document until the actual card arrives. This can be used for employment, opening bank accounts, obtaining a driver’s license, etc.
