El proceso de visa de inmigrante EB-3 permite que una empresa estadounidense patrocine a un ciudadano extranjero para obtener una tarjeta verde o Green card (conocida oficialmente como Tarjeta de Residente Permanente) a través de una oferta de empleo. Durante el proceso de la visa de inmigrante EB-3, el patrocinador estadounidense (también conocido como Empleador de los Estados Unidos) enviará información al Departamento del Trabajo y al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos. Más importante, un puesto profesional, calificado o no calificado califica para una visa de inmigrante EB-3.
La categoría EB-3 incluye:
Profesionales:
Son cargos que requieren el título de bachiller o su equivalente. Esto puede incluir contador, abogado, maestro o ingeniero.
Trabajadores Calificados:
Son puestos que requieren como mínimo dos años de experiencia laboral o capacitación. Los puestos potenciales que pueden clasificar son calderero, electricista o chef.
Otros trabajadores:
la categoría de otros trabajadores son puestos en los que un individuo realiza un trabajo no calificado. Este tipo de trabajo puede requerir dos años o menos de experiencia o capacitación. Los puestos potenciales que pueden clasificar son panadero, cantinero, cuidador de niños, cajero o jardinero.
What is the EB-3 Process Like for the U.S. Sponsor & Foreign National?
- Paso uno: el patrocinador estadounidense debe completar el proceso de certificación laboral llamado PERM con el Departamento del Trabajo de los Estados Unidos (DOL). La certificación laboral incluye una solicitud de salario prevaleciente (que proporciona el monto del salario), contratación de trabajadores estadounidenses (a través de diferentes medios de contratación), junto con la certificación de la solicitud PERM. El paso 1 puede oscilar entre 1 año y 1,5 años.
- Paso dos:
después de la aprobación de la Certificación Laboral (PERM), el patrocinador estadounidense debe presentar una Petición de Inmigrante I-140 ante los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS). El paso 2 puede oscilar entre 15 días naturales y seis meses.
- Paso tres: Paso final, después de la aprobación de la Petición de Inmigrante I-140 de USCIS, el ciudadano extranjero debe presentar su solicitud I-485 para la residencia permanente (Tarjeta verde o Green card). Junto con su solicitud I-485 para la residencia permanente (Tarjeta verde o Green card), una persona puede solicitar una tarjeta de autorización de empleo (I-765) y libertad condicional anticipada (I-131). El paso 3 puede variar de seis a ocho meses.

The latest policy alert, PA-2024-05, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on March 21, 2024, brings revisions to the USCIS Policy Manual, specifically focusing on expediting requests. These updates aim to simplify and elucidate the process for applicants, particularly those facing emergencies or urgent humanitarian needs. The primary goal is to make it easier for applicants to understand how to request expedited processing for their various submissions, including applications, petitions, appeals, or motions, especially in cases concerning government interests or urgent situations. While USCIS has historically permitted immigration benefit seekers to request expedited application processing in specific circumstances, the process has frequently been perceived as unclear, with decisions made arbitrarily on a case-by-case basis. The recent update seeks to rectify this by providing clarity and uniformity to the process and establishing explicit criteria and documentation standards. In order to request expedited processing, applicants need to adhere to a more defined procedure. This involves submitting thorough documentation and illustrating the urgency or government relevance of their case. The recent update also explains how USCIS reviews these requests, offering applicants a better grasp of the process. The update introduces special measures for speeding up the processing of Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document) in emergency situations. This acknowledges the urgent need for certain applicants to travel. The policy also acknowledges that expedited requests may be evaluated if there is evident USCIS error, aiming to uphold fairness and accountability within the processing system. These changes aim to make the expedited request process more transparent and understandable for applicants and their representatives. In summary, USCIS's revision regarding expedited requests signifies a notable advancement in rendering the immigration process more transparent and attentive to applicants' requirements. By comprehending these updated guidelines, applicants and their representatives can more effectively navigate the expedited request procedure, ensuring that urgent cases receive due consideration. If you believe you qualify for expedited processing under the recent USCIS policy updates, feel free to contact our office, and we will be more than happy to assist you.

As of April 1, 2024, USCIS has instituted an inflation adjustment to immigration application filing fees . These fee increases apply to a majority of the different application types, including family-based, non-immigrant, and immigrant petitions. As a part of these fee increases, USCIS has also instituted a new program designed to provide funding to the United States’ Asylum Program, in order to better address the massive backlog of pending asylum claims currently waiting to be adjudicated. Unfortunately, these changes have led to confusion among petitioners for when they are required to pay the Asylum Program Fee, and when they may qualify for a 50% or complete exemption from the fee. The Asylum Program Fee is required to be submitted by employers in all I-129 and I-140 petitions filed on or after April 1, 2024. The Asylum Program Fee is $600, however, certain exemptions apply . Small employers , defined as having 25 or fewer total employees, qualify for a reduction of the Asylum Program Fee, but are still required to submit a reduced fee of $300. Individual petitioners, or self-petitions, such as in the case of an EB-2 National Interest Waiver, are considered small employers for the purpose of the Asylum Program Fee and are also required to submit the reduced $300 fee. Non-profit organizations are exempted from the Asylum Program fee and are not required to submit any additional funds with the ordinary I-129 or I-140 filing fee. In addition, non-profits qualify for a 50% reduction of the ordinary filing fee in certain types of applications, bringing the overall filing fee burden down substantially for non-profit organizations. With these changes to USCIS’ filing fee schedule, USCIS is hoping for significant improvements to efficiency and processing for pending asylum applicants. If you or your petitioning organization need any assistance in preparing an application for an immigration benefit, including ensuring proper compliance with the new fee requirements, our office is ready and waiting to help!
