What is the EB-3 Unskilled Worker Visa?
EB-3 (often written EB3) is the third preference category for employment-based immigration to the United States. Its “other workers” subgroup — usually called the unskilled category — covers permanent, full-time jobs requiring less than two years of training or experience.
It is an immigrant category rather than a temporary work visa: someone who completes the process becomes a lawful permanent resident.
Permanent residency pathway
Successful applicants and eligible family members can obtain green cards.
US employer sponsorship
Requires a permanent, full-time job offer from an employer willing to sponsor.
No advanced education
Built for roles needing less than two years of training or experience.
A limited annual quota
About 10,000 visas worldwide each year in this subgroup — which is why waits are long.
