What Is the EB-3 Unskilled Green Card?

The EB-3 (Employment-Based Third Preference) Unskilled Visa is an official U.S. permanent residency program established by the United States government for general laborers. It is widely recognized as one of the most practical and secure pathways to obtain a U.S. Green Card for your entire family, including your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years of age.

To qualify, applicants commit to working for a sponsoring U.S. employer for a minimum period of one year.

Eligibility Criteria for the EB-3 Visa

The EB-3 Unskilled program does not require higher education degrees or complex work experience. Applicants only need to satisfy the following basic requirements:

  • Health: Good physical condition with no infectious diseases as defined by U.S. immigration regulations.

  • Background: A clean criminal record with no history of U.S. immigration violations or fraud.

  • Language Proficiency: A basic conversational English level (equivalent to B1) is recommended prior to the embassy interview to maximize visa approval rates.
