EB-3 Visa
What Are the Benefits of the EB-3 Visa?
The EB-3 visa is one of the most accessible pathways to living and working permanently in the United States. It offers a range of valuable benefits for individuals and their families:
Live Permanently in the United States
With an EB-3 visa, you can obtain a U.S. Green Card and enjoy permanent resident status. This allows you to live, work, and build your future in the United States long-term, with greater stability and security.
Bring Your Family With You
Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can accompany you to the United States. Your children can attend school, and your spouse can apply for work authorization or work after receiving their Green Card—helping your entire family build a better future together.
More Flexible Career Opportunities
As a permanent resident, you have the freedom to change employers and explore better job opportunities. You’re no longer tied to a single employer, giving you more control over your career path.
Easier Qualification Compared to Other Visas
The EB-3 visa has more flexible requirements than other employment-based visas like EB-1 and EB-2. This makes it an excellent option for individuals who may not qualify for higher-tier visa categories.
Steps in the EB-3 Visa Process
1st-Select Specific Job Sponsor
You first need a U.S. employer willing to sponsor you and a specific permanent job offer that fits one of the EB‑3 categories (skilled, professional, or other worker).
2nd-Department of Labour (DoL)
PERM Labour Certification is the first and most legal-department heavy part.
3rd-U.S Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
After PERM approval, the lawyer files Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker Form with USCIS.
4th-Green Card Application
Once the priority date is current, you either file Form I‑485 (adjustment of status inside the U.S.) or go through consular processing with DS‑260 at a U.S. embassy in Cambodia.

How Long Does the EB-3 Visa Process Take?
The EB-3 visa process is generally not a fast immigration pathway. From the initial stage of labor certification through to the final issuance of a green card, the overall timeline typically ranges from approximately three to five years, and in some cases may take longer.
Processing times may vary depending on several factors, including visa bulletin backlogs, the workload of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the applicant’s country of origin.
Engaging an experienced EB-3 immigration attorney may help reduce avoidable delays and ensure that the case is prepared and processed as efficiently as possible in accordance with applicable immigration laws and procedures.
