What is Great American Recruiter?
Great American Recruiter is an employment agency based in Bethesda, Maryland. We specialize in employment-based immigration and bridge the gap between employers seeking employees to reduce their labor shortage and prospective immigrants. We provide assistance and guidance to both parties in acquiring the EB-3 unskilled visa for the employees.
What is EB-3 Visa?
The EB-3 visa represents the third category of employment-based immigration, enabling a foreign candidate and their family members (spouse and children) to permanently live and work in the United States by acquiring a green card. An individual from another country can secure an EB-3 Visa through two methods: (1) adjusting their status within the United States by transitioning from a student visa or another non-immigrant visa type to an EB-3 Visa, or (2) applying internationally and undergoing an interview at a nearby U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Who is eligible for EB-3 Unskilled Visa?
The only prerequisites to qualify for the EB-3 unskilled visa are a labor certification and a full-time job offer. As long as you possess the capability and willingness to perform the duties required by the job, and the employer can demonstrate that no American worker is interested in it, you satisfy the visa criteria, irrespective of your previous job or educational qualifications.

Does obtaining an EB-3 visa require professional experience?
EB-3 visas include a range of categories, with certain types requiring previous professional experience and others not, based on the particular classification.
Do you charge additional fees for my family members?
Yes. We charge additional fees for the family members during the final stage of the Green Card application to cover GAR consultation fees, attorney fees, and USCIS fees.
Is it possible for my spouse to pursue an EB-3 application with the employer while I continue my study/job in the USA? Would it lead to any issues?
Yes, your spouse may pursue an EB-3 application with the employer while you continue your study/job on a non-immigrant visa in the USA.
If I am entering the USA on a B1/B2 visa, am I eligible to apply for an EB-3 immigration visa?
Yes, it is possible to change your visa status from B1/B2. Nonetheless, you must maintain a lawful visa status in the USA until your I-140 gets approved and you obtain the receipt notice of your pending I-485 application.
Can you guarantee a 100% success rate for EB-3 immigrant visa approval?
It is realistically impossible to assure 100% approval since the final adjudication comes from the USCIS. However, we can confidently anticipate the outcome with over 90% certainty.
Can I expedite the EB-3 process with premium processing?
Premium processing can only be used to expedite the I-140 adjudication, and GAR applies for premium processing for all of its candidates to expedite the I-140 approval.
Is there an educational qualification requirement for an EB-3 visa?
The EB-3 visa comprises various categories, some requiring prior educational qualifications while others do not, depending on the specific category. The EB-3 unskilled category requires no academic qualification.
What is the cost of EB-3 employment placement and visa assistance through GAR?
Please see the total cost in the "For Applicants' menu on our website.
How long do I have to work for the employer?
You must work for your sponsoring employer for at least 12 months.
If I hold an F1/F2 visa, am I eligible to apply for an EB3 immigration visa?
Yes, you can change your visa status from F1/F2. However, you must maintain a lawful visa status in the USA until your I-140 gets approved and you obtain work authorization based on a pending I-485 application.
Can I apply for an EB-3 immigration visa if I am an asylee or if my asylum status is pending in the USA?
You may apply for an EB-3 immigrant visa if your asylum case is in progress. However, we strongly suggest you talk to your attorney before making any decision, as it might be a complicated situation.
Is there any interview for EB-3?
If you apply through adjustment of status in the USA, an interview may or may not be necessary. However, an interview at the US embassy or consulate will be mandatory if you apply from outside the USA.
How long does it take to complete the EB-3 process?
As the immigration system and procedures are intricate and subject to constant changes, it is impossible to establish a fixed timeline for receiving a visa. The process of obtaining an EB-3 unskilled visa involves several stages. You can see a typical timeline of the process in the 'For Applicant" menu on our website.
Do you offer refunds?
Great American Recruiter adheres to a rigorous policy of either refund or refiling in certain circumstances. As stipulated in the employee placement agreement's terms and conditions, the candidate can choose either the "Refile" or "Refund" option.
Do you help in preparing for visa interviews?
We assist you with visa interview preparation through the attorney and the law firm dedicated to your case. Attorney assistance with visa interview preparation is free!
Is Great American Recruiter a law firm or does it provide legal services?
Great American Recruiter is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or substitute the need for an attorney's guidance. If you have any legal inquiries, please seek the counsel of an immigration lawyer. Nevertheless, we connect our candidates with an attorney and a law firm when the candidate's placement is confirmed, and the immigration application begins.
Does Great American recruiter hire foreign nationals from China and India?
The immigration regulations in the United States limit the number of employment-based permanent residencies, or "Green Cards," to 140,000 per year. Nevertheless, millions of individuals seek Green Cards, resulting in an increasing queue or backlog for immigrant visa applications each year. Each country and visa category has a specific allocation of 140,000 per year. For foreign nationals to apply for a green card and a work permit, their country of origin must not be subject to a backlog. Due to the vast number of individuals who have applied for immigrant visas, China and India face significant backlogs. As such, Chinese or Indian nationals would have to endure long waiting periods before joining a company, which most employers partnering with GAR cannot afford. Unfortunately, therefore, Great American Recruiter is unable to assist foreign nationals from these countries.
