The EB-3 Visa Process with BDV Solutions

Your Guide Through the Process

Comprehensive Support

This can be a confusing and complicated process, but the BDV Solutions team is here to guide you throughout. We have various departments that will support you through the different stages of your EB-3 process. To learn more about the EB-3 process itself, please check out this blog.

Step 1: Sign Up

YOW Platform

The first part of our process is signing up through our YOW platform. Here, you will be able to learn about the BDV Solutions process and the EB-3 Visa. On our YOW platform, you will be led through a series of informational videos.

Team Support

We have helped many clients through this process, so please let us know if you have any questions. As you move through different parts of the process, you will work with different members of the BDV Solutions team, who are there to support you during that stage.

Step 2: Pick a Job

Job Openings

We open up new job positions every few weeks. When a new job position opens up, the spots tend to go quickly. If you decide to work with BDV Solutions, you will select your employer sponsor on YOW.

Job Details

Before selecting the job, you will know the wage, type of work, location, and estimated filing date.

Commitment to Your Future

When you are picking a job, please keep in mind that this is not just signing up for a job—you are making a commitment to your future employer, who will be sponsoring you for your U.S. Green Card.

Previous Job Examples

We believe we work with some of the best employer sponsors for the EB-3 Unskilled Visa. Some previous jobs have included:

  • Food prep worker
  • Janitorial services
  • Construction
  • Packing (at a warehouse)
  • And more!

Step 3: Department of Labor

Labor Certification Filing

The Department of Labor stage includes your Labor Certification filing. If you get an audit, that will also happen during this stage of the process.

Potential Delays

Please keep in mind that there can be delays during this part of the process, and your estimated filing date is only an estimation. We will do our best to communicate with you about delays.

YOW Account Updates

Please check your YOW account for any relevant information or requests. Some parts of this stage will require your confirmation, so frequently check your YOW account, as waiting for confirmation could lead to delays.

Step 4: USCIS

I-140 and EAD Filing

This part of the process includes the I-140 and EAD (for Adjustment of Status only). This is the phase where you will work most closely with your attorneys.

COVID-19 Delays

COVID-19 and its effects have led to delays with USCIS. Things are slowly accelerating, but they are certainly not back to normal.

Advocacy and Communication

We will communicate with you during this process, and once you receive the necessary approvals, you will then be able to transition to work for your employer sponsor. The BDV Solutions team works with government and political teams to advocate for our clients, the future of immigration, and to have good insight into what is going on behind the scenes of a case.

Step 5: Settlement / Client Services

Transition Support

When you are able to start work or are almost able to start work, our Client Services team will assist you in this transition.

Orientation and Resources

Our team will set up your orientation, provide you with a city guide, and assist you in understanding all that you will need to do upon moving and starting work in a new position.

Ongoing Assistance

Our Client Services team will support you throughout the entirety of your work for your employer sponsor. We have helped clients find roommates, accommodations, cars, and more! Our team is ready for your questions and is here to guide you in your transition to working for your employer sponsor.
