Our Web Site is available in: CZECH FRENCH GERMAN HUNGARIAN SPANISH		Professionals and Skilled Workers EB-3 Professionals and skilled workers can qualify in the EB-3 green card category for professionals and skilled workers. People in this category must, however, obtain a Labor Certification. An immigrant in this category must also have a so-called "sponsor", a U.S. business, non-profit organization, or educational institution, which petitions for the immigrant. Once the person obtains the labor certification, the sponsor must file a petition to qualify the immigrant in the EB-3 green card category for professionals and skilled workers. The sponsor must prove: that it has adequate income or assets to pay the immigrant the so-called prevailing wage, which is the average wage paid to workers in the same or a similar field in the region where the sponsor is located. The immigrant must prove: that he is sufficiently qualified for the position. To qualify as a "professional", the person must hold a baccalaureate degree in the same or similar field, or for a skilled- worker position, the person must have at least 2 years of practical experience in the same or similar field, or more years of experience, depending on the skill level required by the position. Additional advantages of qualifying for the green card in the EB-3 category Since September 1, 2002, it is possible to file for adjustment of status while the above-mentioned petition is pending. This means that the immigrant and his/her family can begin the next stage in the green card process before the petition stage has been decided.
