7 Advantages of EB3 Visa Sponsorship for International Registered Nurses

The EB-3 visa is the perfect pathway for registered nurses seeking permanent residency in the United States, offering several advantages:

  1. Permanent Residency: The EB-3 visa provides a path to obtaining a Green Card, granting the holder the ability to live and work in the U.S. permanently.

  2. Family Inclusion: Spouses and unmarried children under 21 can also apply for visas and obtain residency status alongside the primary applicant, keeping families together.

  3. Job Diversity: While the EB-3 visa is specifically for professionals, skilled workers, and other workers, registered nurses qualify due to U.S. healthcare demands, broadening job opportunities within the country.

  4. No Lottery System: Unlike the H-1B visa, the EB-3 does not require entering a lottery. This reduces uncertainty and potentially expedites the process.

  5. Employer Sponsorship: Since the process requires employer sponsorship, registered nurses can get robust support from their sponsoring employer, such as Medliant, including assistance with paperwork and possibly covering processing fees.

  6. Work Authorization for Spouse: The spouse of an EB-3 visa holder can apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which allows them to work in the U.S.

  7. Pathway to Citizenship: After obtaining a Green Card and meeting residency requirements, EB-3 visa holders may eventually apply for U.S. citizenship.

These advantages make the EB-3 visa an attractive option for registered nurses looking to build a long-term career in the United States.
