Mates, my friend got a U.S. residency through the EB-3 visa, but we're not in touch right now, so I can't ask her how she did it. Is there anyone here who knows about this topic and can tell me how a Brazilian can get an EB-3 visa?

If it's not a secret, why aren't you communicating? Did you have a disagreement? Regarding the EB-3 visa, you first have to choose a state and a job where you will work for at least one year. Then, apply for the position. Later, you will need to go through three stages: PERM labor certification, I-140 petition, and adjustment of status or consular processing. You can read more about the Path to U.S. residency for Brazilian workers on the eb3.work website. Keep in mind that obtaining an EB-3 visa takes a very long time — about three years — so you should apply as soon as possible.

Steps to Get an EB-3 Visa as a Brazilian:
1. Find a U.S. Employer Willing to Sponsor You
This is essential. You cannot self-petition.

The employer must offer you a permanent full-time job.

2. Labor Certification (PERM)
The employer must apply for a PERM Labor Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor.

This proves there are no qualified U.S. workers for the position.

3. Form I-140: Immigrant Petition
After PERM approval, the employer files Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker) with USCIS.

4. Wait for Priority Date to Become Current
You need to wait for a visa number to become available (check the Visa Bulletin).

EB-3 category is usually available for Brazil, but check monthly updates.
