The U.S. EB-3 immigration is divided into three categories: Category A (Skilled Workers): Professionals who possess a U.S. bachelor's degree or a foreign equivalent degree required for the job position, and whose education and experience cannot substitute for the degree;
Category B (Skilled Workers): Skilled workers with at least two years of training or experience;
Category C (EW/Unskilled Workers): Other workers with no special requirements. It is a labor category immigration, which means that applicants need to actually work in the U.S. to obtain a green card. Employers in the market for EW are generally unskilled laborers in chain restaurants, workers in poultry processing plants, and farmhands in fish farms and chicken farms, among others.
The processing time for the first two categories is approximately 3-6 years, while the processing time for U.S. EB-3 unskilled immigration is about 10 years.
How much does U.S. EB-3 immigration cost?
In the past, many agencies charged fees of 600,000 to 700,000 RMB for U.S. EB-3 immigration, which was due to applicants' lack of understanding. However, after Max Immigration entered the Chinese market with direct recruitment, the overall price has decreased, and it is now possible to process for as low as over 300,000 RMB. If someone still tells you that EB-3 costs 600,000 to 700,000 RMB, it can only be said that you are naive and have too much money. With the current development of internet information, searching and asking around can help clarify this matter.
In addition to price being a major factor, it is also important to consider the background of the agency and employer resources, and whether they have the capability to handle various unexpected situations during the application process. After all, the EB-3 waiting period is not short, lasting over ten years. In case the employer goes bankrupt or closes down in the future, whether the agency has the ability to help you quickly change employers is also a crucial point to consider.
