Background
Mr Tse, from Taichung, applied with his wife and two children. He wanted his children to study in the US.
Main concern
Without a degree, he thought moving to the US was impossible.
Our approach
We explained that EB-3 unskilled has no education requirement, helped match him with an employer and handled the labour certification and I-140.
Process and outcome
His labour certification and I-140 were approved in about 18 months, and he is waiting for the backlog.
Adviser’s comment
The unskilled category gives families without degrees a route, but it requires patience with the backlog.
EB-3 Unskilled Worker application process
- Assessment and employer match (Varies): We confirm the employer, role and work location.
- 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.
