EB-3 Other Worker (also called 'unskilled worker' or 'EW') is for positions requiring less than 2 years of training or experience. It has the longest priority date wait times of any employment- based category and is heavily used for housekeeping, food service, agricultural support, and similar entry-level positions.
Position requires less than 2 years of training or experience; PERM Labor Certification required; employer demonstrates ability to pay; and beneficiary capable of performing duties.
PERM Labor Certification, then I-140, then I-485/consular processing.
Standard PERM requirements; documentation of beneficiary's ability to perform duties; ability-to-pay evidence.
Recruitment costs; I-140 fee; I-485 fee.
Priority dates often extremely backlogged (10+ years for some countries); Filing usually proceeds with eye toward future date currency.
We handle EB-3 EW filings for hospitality groups, food service operators, household employers, and certain manufacturing sectors. Counseling clients on realistic timelines is essential.
If you have a sponsoring employer for an entry-level position, EB-3 Other Worker may eventually lead to a green card despite long timelines. Contact us for a realistic strategic assessment.
