What is EB2/EB3 Visa?
There are 3 kinds of green card that an employer can file for you. They are called EB1, EB2, and EB3. Depending upon the category chosen, there may be different steps required and you may hear people refer to the process as Labor Certification or PERM.
EB2 and EB3 (most common)
EB2: The job you apply for must require an advanced degree and you must possess such a degree or it’s equivalent (a baccalaureate degree plus 5 years progressive work experience in the field)
EB3: The job you apply for must require at least 2 years of job experience or training or require a baccalaureate degree or foreign equivalent, and a member of the profession.
Stage 1: Determining the wage for the job
1.0 – Get a job offer from an employer must make you a job offer, or at the minimum have a job available that
suit your skillset.
1.1 – PWD (Prevailing Wage Request) Cost: NONE Time: 3 months Your employer makes a “prevailing wage request” to the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) . The employer has to obtain the average wage for the profession to make sure you are not paid less than the average American for this job.
1.2 – Labor Certification: Placing Ads and Recruiting –
Cost: $2,500 (depending on ads) Time: 3 months
The next recruitment step is especially critical, as the entire point of the process is to demonstrate to the DOL that no willing and qualified U.S. workers applied for the job opportunity.
Your employer must conduct “good faith” recruitment, which means the recruitment must be genuinely calculated to attract any available U.S. workers.
There are three mandatory advertisements. Your employer must place an advertisement with the state workforce agency in the state of intended employment.
Additionally, your employer must place newspaper advertisements on two different Sundays. The newspaper must be the major newspaper of general circulation in the area of intended employment.
Along with the mandatory advertisements, your employer must also place three other advertisements and post a notice of the job opportunity at the worksite location.
1.3 – Labor Certification: Filing ETA Form 9089 (PERM)
Cost NONE Time: up to 6 months After the advertisements are complete, your employer will file the application with the DOL using ETA Form 9089 (provided no qualified and willing U.S. workers applied for the job position).
The ETA Form 9089 again provides the DOL with information on the job opportunity (such as the worksite location, duties, requirements, and prevailing wage), information on the employer’s recruitment process (such as where the employer placed the ads and on what dates), and information on the foreign worker (such as the worker’s place of birth, education credentials, and work experience).
After filing the ETA Form 9089, you will wait several months for the DOL to adjudicate the PERM. The DOL can
1 . Approve the PERM – Proceed to Stage 2
2 . Deny the PERM or – Restart the process
3 . Audit the PERM. – Average time for an audit is 9 months
Stage 2: File form I-140 –
Cost $700 and if premium processing is additional $1440 Time: 15 days
If your PERM is audited, the DOL will ask your employer to provide additional evidence for the application. After your employer responds to the audit request, the DOL will review the new evidence and either approve or deny the PERM.
After receiving the approved PERM, your employer can move on to the next big step of the process, which is filing an I-140 visa petition on your behalf with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This is the actual application for an immigrant (green card) visa.
Stage 3: Change status to Legal Permanent Residence (Greencard)
Cost $1, 225 per adult and $750 per child (under 14) Time: at least 9 months
Work Permit and Travel Permits are received in 3 months.
Once the I-140 is approved, you have to file an adjustment of status for the whole family. It is imperative that you are all in some status when the adjustment is filed. If you are out of the country then the greencard is processed at your local embassy.
