Three Pathways. One Clear Direction.

Professionals

Designed for individuals whose positions require a U.S. bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The EB-3 professional category can provide a structured pathway for qualified candidates pursuing long-term employment in the United States.

Skilled Workers

For individuals whose positions require at least two years of training or work experience. We help eligible candidates understand the requirements and prepare for the stages involved in the immigration process.

Other Workers

The EB-3 category also covers certain positions requiring less than two years of training or experience, subject to applicable program requirements and availability.

Employer Sponsorship

EB-3 immigration generally involves a U.S. employer sponsoring the qualifying position. Understanding the relationship between the employer, position, labor certification, and immigration petition is central to planning the process.

A Pathway Built Around Employment

EB-3 is designed around a genuine employment relationship between an eligible foreign worker and a qualifying U.S. employer. The process can involve multiple stages, including labor certification, employer sponsorship, immigrant petition, and the final immigration stage.

Richmond Manchester LP focuses on bringing structure to this process. We help clients understand the requirements applicable to their category, prepare for important milestones, and maintain a clear view of the journey from employment opportunity toward permanent residency.
