The EB-3 Unskilled Worker category is designed for individuals who possess skills that are essential for the U.S. labor market but require less formal training or experience. This category caters to jobs that are not seasonal or temporary and do not demand advanced degrees or extensive qualifications. Common examples include jobs in fields such as hospitality, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing.
Key Requirements: To qualify for the EB-3 Unskilled Worker category, applicants must meet the following criteria:

An offer of full-time, permanent employment from a U.S. employer is required.
The employer must have the ability to demonstrate the need for unskilled labor and must be willing to sponsor the applicant throughout the immigration process.
