Employment-Based Immigration Help from a Trusted EB-2 and EB-3 Attorney

If you’re an employer sponsoring a foreign worker or an individual seeking permanent residency through employment, the EB-2 and EB-3 visa categories offer a pathway to a U.S. green card. At Powers Immigration Law, we provide experienced legal support for employment-based immigration, including EB-2 and EB-3 petitions, labor certification (PERM), and adjustment of status or consular processing.

What Are EB-2 and EB-3 Visas?

The EB-2 and EB-3 visas are part of the U.S. employment-based immigrant visa system. These green card categories are available to individuals with specific skills, education, or professional experience who have a permanent job offer from a U.S. employer.

​

EB-2: Professionals with Advanced Degrees or Exceptional Ability

The EB-2 visa is for:

  • Individuals with advanced degrees (master’s or higher, or a bachelor’s plus five years of experience)

  • Individuals with exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business

 

Most EB-2 cases require a PERM labor certification and a job offer, but some applicants may qualify for a National Interest Waiver (NIW) and apply without employer sponsorship.

​

EB-3: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers

The EB-3 visa is for:

  • Skilled workers with at least two years of job experience or training

  • Professionals with a U.S. bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent

  • Other workers for unskilled positions requiring less than two years of training or experience

 

All EB-3 applicants require a job offer and an approved PERM labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor.
