EB-3

EB-3 National Interest Waiver (NIW)

The EB-3 National Interest Waiver (NIW) is an employment-based immigrant visa category that offers skilled workers, professionals, and other eligible applicants a pathway to permanent residency in the United States. While the traditional EB-3 visa requires an employer sponsorship and a job offer, Charish Consulting goes a step further to assist you in securing a suitable job offer, ensuring compliance with visa requirements. Additionally, the NIW component provides certain applicants the ability to self-petition if their work aligns with U.S. national interests, streamlining the process for qualified candidates.

Why Choose the EB-3?

The EB-3 visa is an ideal choice for individuals who have skills, experience, or qualifications that meet U.S. labor market demands. It provides:

  1. Opportunities for Skilled and Unskilled Workers: Suitable for individuals who may not qualify for higher categories like EB-2 but still possess valuable skills and experience.
  2. Clear Pathway to Residency: Offers a reliable route to permanent residency for applicants and their families.
  3. Charish Consulting’s Job Placement Assistance: We support you in finding an employer willing to sponsor your application, a critical requirement for this visa category.
  4. Alignment with National Interests: For those eligible under the NIW pathway, the process eliminates employer sponsorship requirements by demonstrating that their contributions benefit U.S. national interests.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for the EB-3 visa, including the NIW pathway, applicants must meet one of the following Categories:

  1. Skilled Workers: At least two years of experience in a skilled trade or profession.
  2. Professionals: A U.S. bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in a field requiring such qualifications.
  3. Other Workers: Less than two years of experience but capable of filling unskilled labor roles that are not temporary or seasonal.

For NIW Pathway: Applicants must show their work serves U.S. national interests, offering substantial benefits to areas such as public health, infrastructure, or technology.
