What stages does an EB-3 case go through?
Hello. I’m planning to go through EB-3 (third-preference) employment-based immigration. I’d like to know what stages this process involves, and whether any of them can be done concurrently to save time.
I’d also like to know how long I’d need to work at the sponsoring company after receiving my green card.
EB-3 proceeds through:
1. The employer obtaining labor certification
2. The petition (I-140)
3. The immigrant visa application
Each stage must be completed sequentially and cannot be done concurrently.
