Background
Mr Cheung, from Tainan, applied with his wife and one child. He wanted to work in the US and move there with his family.
Main concern
With only a bachelor’s degree, he assumed he had no chance of a US green card.
Our approach
We helped him find a suitable US employer and explained each step clearly: labour certification, the I-140 and the visa backlog.
Process and outcome
His labour certification and I-140 were approved, and he received a green card in about 24 months.
Adviser’s comment
EB-3 needs only a bachelor’s degree or two years’ relevant experience — a route many professionals overlook.
EB-3 Skilled Worker application process
- Assessment and employer match (Varies): We assess your qualifications and confirm the employer and role.
- Labour certification (PERM) (Per Department of Labor timelines): Prevailing wage determination, recruitment and filing of the labour certification.
- File I-140 (Premium processing about 15 working days): Once the labour certification is approved, the employer files the I-140; premium processing is available.
- Green card stage (Depends on visa backlog): File I-485 or attend a consular interview when your priority date is current.
