EB3 Visa: Skilled, Unskilled Workers & Professionals

  • Country limits: 7% cap per country, with extended wait times for nationals from India and China.
  • No priority filing time: Applications are accepted at any time.
  • Validity: The EB3 visa is valid for 10 years and can be renewed if needed.
