Am I Eligible for the EB3 Unskilled Visa process?

To determine eligibility, you must first ensure that you are not inadmissible under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). There are numerous grounds of inadmissibility that can prevent a foreign national from gaining permission to enter or remain in the U.S. permanently. To determine your eligibility, register for an account, and our team will assess your ability to do this program.

The following are a few common issues that will make you ineligible for the EB3 Visa process or hurt your chances:

You engaged in unauthorized work in the United States:

1. Generally, unauthorized work within the United States will make you ineligible to apply for the EB3 Visa with BDV Solutions if you are seeking to gain an EB3 Visa through an Adjustment of Status (AOS). However, if the unauthorized work does not exceed 180 days, the client may be able to adjust. If the unauthorized work has exceeded 180 days, you can return to your home country and apply for the EB3 Visa through Consular Processing.

You engaged in Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT)

1. CIMT includes the attempt or commission of any crime that may result in a felony or more than 2 years in jail. CIMT includes but is not limited to murder convictions or felony convictions.
