The EB-3 visa continues to be an essential pathway for those seeking employment-based immigration to the United States. This is a particularly attractive visa because it has a permanent residency pathway. The job scope includes various work types, attracting both skilled and unskilled labor. Here are some of the best jobs that qualify for an EB-3 visa in 2025 and what you need to know about getting this visa.
Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare workers are consistently in high demand in the U.S., and this trend is expected to continue in 2025. Nurses, medical technologists, and physical therapists often qualify for EB-3 visa. Employers in the healthcare industry frequently sponsor these workers because the demand for skilled healthcare professionals surpasses the available workforce.
For example, a registered nurse might receive a job offer from a U.S. hospital and secure an EB-3 visa. The costs associated with this process can vary, but employers often cover some of the fees. If you’re considering this path, our team can help you navigate the requirements and ensure everything runs smoothly. Contact us for personalized guidance.
Skilled Trades
The demand for skilled trades like electricians, welders, and plumbers, is also high. A lot of construction and manufacturing companies are willing to sponsor foreign workers to fill those critical roles. These kinds of jobs usually replace the need for vocational training or experience, and employers may pay for visa-related costs.
A seasoned welder, for example, should be prepared to spend thousands of dollars on credential evaluations, visa filing fees, and similar expenses. However, the process can be simple with guidance.

IT Specialists
This demand for IT specialists and other IT employees also holds good under the EB-3 visa category. Positions eligible for sponsorship include jobs like software developers, network engineers, and database administrators. Candidates also typically require a bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience for these roles. The cost of obtaining an EB-3 visa can run anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000, including educational credential evaluations and attorney fees, for IT professionals.
Some of these costs are covered by employers as part of the job offer. Exercise passion and confidence, if this career path fits you, book a consultation with us to streamline your application process.
Hospitality Workers
Under the EB-3 visa, there is an array of options available across numerous sectors within the hospitality industry, for example: hotel staff, chefs, and housekeeping supervisors. These roles typically have fewer educational requirements but require a dedicated commitment to fantastic service. Employers in this field are eager to hire foreigners, and they are struggling to meet demand.
While costs vary based on how much an employer gets involved, we can assess your eligibility and help you apply as seamlessly as possible. Contact us to learn about your options today.
Agricultural Workers
Job types in other areas of the agricultural field, like farm workers and machinery operators, also qualify for an EB-3 visa. The U.S. agricultural industry has become entirely dependent on foreign workers to keep things moving, particularly during busy harvest seasons. Most jobs in construction usually demand physical strength and the ability to work out in the elements.
It costs less to process a visa for agricultural workers, and employers are often willing to offset much of the cost for their employees. We offer legal services that can help you get through this different kind of opportunity.
