Wages shown are prevailing-wage floors set by the U.S. Department of Labor; actual pay can be higher based on shift and location.

What's included

What you get.

Legal U.S. work authorization

Full-time employment with Upshift — same labor protections, overtime rules, and minimum wage floors as any U.S. citizen working the same role.

Pay floor protected by U.S. law

Your prevailing wage is set by the U.S. Department of Labor before recruitment even starts — and your sponsor cannot pay you below it. Actual pay can be higher based on shift, location, or tenure.

Your spouse and kids on one case

Spouses and unmarried children under 21 come with you on the same EB-3 application. One paperwork process. One household crossing the border together.

A pathway to U.S. permanent residency

EB-3 is an immigrant visa pathway designed to lead to U.S. permanent residency if approved. Final visa approval is determined by U.S. government authorities at every stage of the process.

Sponsor risk vs. sponsor certainty

Most EB-3 cases fail when the sponsor fails. Pick an employer that can go the distance.

An EB-3 case typically takes four to five years to complete. Small single-location employers — a single restaurant, a single facility, a handful of employees — often cannot sustain a sponsorship that long. Closures, role changes, or missed compliance steps can end a case midway. Established U.S. employers operating at real scale are substantially more likely to maintain the sponsorship through the full process. For this reason, the program partners only with sponsors that meet that operational standard. Upshift is the current sponsor on this program.

Other EB-3 programs

Single-location sponsors. Limited capacity.

  • Often matched to a single-location employer with a small workforce
  • Sponsor doesn't have the financial scale to weather a 4-year case
  • If the sponsor pulls the job or closes, you start over — usually with no refund
  • The recruiter, the lawyer, and the employer don't know each other
The Most Solutions approach

Established U.S. employers. Real hiring volume.

  • Sponsored by Upshift — established U.S. operations with thousands of active workers
  • Sponsor has the financial scale and infrastructure to support multi-year EB-3 cases
  • If a sponsor can't be maintained, we place you with another employer in our network — or refund you in full
  • Recruitment, legal, and employer relationships coordinated end-to-end

Why Filipino workers

Open positions waiting for motivated workers.

650 open positions. Real, ongoing employer demand. We're starting this pathway with Filipino candidates because the worker profile our employer partner needs — industrious, service-oriented, long-term — is most reliably found there.

About the sponsor

Upshift is the U.S. employer sponsoring this cycle.

Upshift is a U.S. staffing operator backed by Recruit Holdings — the parent company of Indeed and Glassdoor — with hiring activity across multiple U.S. states. It is a large employer operating at real scale.

Upshift independent certifications: #1 On-Demand Staffing Platform on G2, Inc. 5000 (2025), G2 Spring 2025 High Performer, Trusted by 2000+ businesses, Great Place To Work Certified 2026.

Upshift has spent nearly a decade hiring across U.S. hospitality, food service, and industrial operations. Its core challenge is the same one every employer in this part of the economy faces: finding workers who show up, take the work seriously, and stay for the long term.

When they looked at where that worker profile is most reliably found, the answer pointed to Filipino candidates. A cultural commitment to industriousness, service, and accountability. A hospitality tradition that runs through generations. Family-first values that translate directly into long-term reliability on the job. Educational systems that produce capable, work-ready candidates.

Upshift's founders come from immigrant family backgrounds themselves. That's part of why they're personally committed to bringing Filipino candidates into multi-year U.S. sponsorship — not as one-off hires, but as long-term employees with a real path forward.

What we put in writing

Two commitments. In your contract.

Most EB-3 cases fail because the sponsor fails. The parts of that risk that we control go directly into your contract. Final visa approval still rests with the U.S. government, but on our side, here's what we commit to.

Sponsor guarantee

If your sponsor can no longer continue your case and we cannot place you with another employer in our network within 6 months — you get every dollar you've paid us back.

Operator-error refile

If your case is denied because of a recruitment, filing, or paperwork error on our side, we refile your case at no additional cost. We don't lose cases on the parts we control.

What we won't promise

Things no one can guarantee.

We will not promise a 2-year timeline. We will not promise a specific facility, manager, or schedule within your approved work location. We will not promise green card approval. Anyone who does is either lying or doesn't understand the law.

Timeline

How long does it take?

The EB-3 pathway typically takes four to five years from sponsor match to arrival in the United States. The timeline is governed by U.S. government processing and the visa bulletin — not by us. Below is the stage-by-stage breakdown, including the three points where most EB-3 cases are denied and how we work to prevent each one.

Match · Day 1

You're matched with an established employer partner — such as Upshift — in your chosen city. The sponsor is real, the role is committed, the prevailing wage is set.

Labor Certification · 15–18 mo

Your sponsor's recruitment runs first — U.S. workers must legally be given the chance to apply. Our team runs it by the book. This is where most EB-3 cases get denied. We don't lose cases here.

I-140 Petition · 10–12 mo

Required: your sponsor's tax returns showing ability to pay your wage. We verify sponsor readiness before accepting candidates into the program.

Consular Interview + Arrival · 6–12 mo

Your interview at the U.S. consulate. We prep you one-on-one — what they ask, how to answer, what documents to bring. Then you arrive and start work.

Total expected time today: approximately 4–5 years from sponsor match to arrival in the U.S.

EB-3 is an immigrant visa pathway designed to lead to U.S. permanent residency if approved. Final visa approval is determined by U.S. government authorities. Specific timelines and outcomes depend on your case and current U.S. immigration policy.

When you land

You're taken care of when you land.

When your visa clears, our team is on the other side to help you settle in. The first six months in the U.S. are the most important — getting them right is part of the program.

Airport pickup

A pre-arranged driver meets you at arrival with a sign with your name on it, and takes you to your first-night accommodation.

First housing mapped before you fly

The neighborhood around your worksite — apartments, transit, grocery, gym, places of worship — sent to you weeks before you land.

Six months of dedicated support

A point of contact by phone, WhatsApp, or email for your first six months — from setting up a bank account to navigating a delayed first paycheck.

Monthly updates throughout your case

Through the long middle of the process, you'll get a status update every month. Predictable, structured communication.

What the program covers

One team, the whole way.

From your first eligibility call through your first day on the job in the U.S., one team coordinates your case end-to-end. Spouse and unmarried children under 21 are included on the same case. Program cost is explained on your free eligibility call — after we confirm you fit the program, and before you commit to anything.

Matching you with Upshift or another partner employer in the network. City and role category locked in before you sign. Sponsor agreement coordination.

Government filing fees on the applicant side are paid separately by you.

🗂

One dedicated point of contact for the whole case. Monthly status updates. Help gathering civil documents, translations, certifications, and everything the consulate needs.

✈️

Interview prep + concierge arrival

One-on-one consular interview prep with our immigration counsel before you sit in front of a U.S. State Department officer. On arrival: airport pickup, housing map sent before you fly, and six months of post-arrival support.

FAQ

What people usually worry about.

Is this guaranteed?

Final visa approval is always decided by the U.S. government — no honest company can promise it. What we can promise is the part we control. On the sponsor side — the biggest single risk in any EB-3 case — we only work with established U.S. employers vetted by independent immigration counsel over years of case work, before any candidate signs. And if your sponsor can't continue your case and we can't replace them within 6 months, every dollar you've paid is refunded. We only take on cases we believe we can run successfully.

How long does the process really take?

Four to five years from signing your contract to arriving in the United States. Anyone promising you a shorter timeline is either incorrect or describing a different visa entirely.

The U.S. government publishes a "visa bulletin" each month showing which cases are being processed. Right now, the applicants getting interview notices submitted their paperwork in early 2022 — that's about four years and three months ago. So four to five years is the realistic floor.

Who exactly is my employer?

Upshift, which hires across multiple U.S. states and is a real, operating business at scale. As the pathway scales, your sponsor may also be another established U.S. company in the network — vetted to the same standard. You don't get matched with a third-party single-location employer that can close or change its mind in year three.

How do you know the sponsor will still be in business in 4–5 years?

This is the single biggest risk in an EB-3 case — and the reason most cases fail. Our entire approach is built around sponsor certainty: we only work with established U.S. employers (Upshift, more to come) that operate at real scale with ongoing hiring volume and the financial substance to support a multi-year process. Single-location franchise sponsors aren't part of our network.

The same independent immigration counsel has vetted these employers' filing history and ability-to-pay over years of case work, long before any candidate signs.

What if my sponsor goes out of business anyway?

We'll move you to another employer in our network. If we can't do that within 6 months, you get a full refund of every dollar paid. That commitment is in your contract.

What if my application is denied?

Depends on why. If it's a recruitment or paperwork error on our side, we refile at no additional cost.

If you're denied at the consular interview for a reason outside our control (criminal record, public charge finding, security concern), we'll help you understand options — but refund isn't on the table for those.

Where will I work?

One of five cities, chosen by you at signing: Cincinnati, Charlotte, Atlanta, Detroit, or Las Vegas. You also commit to one role category — hospitality (front of house), hospitality (back of house), or warehouse/industrial.

Your role and work location (city + role category) are locked at the labor certification filing — that's a U.S. Department of Labor requirement. The exact facility, manager, and schedule within that approved location may be assigned closer to your arrival, since employer operations can shift over four years.

Who handles the legal side?

Employer-side immigration filings are handled by independent immigration counsel — a U.S. attorney with 4,500+ EB-3 cases filed in the last five years who works exclusively in employment-based immigration and has a long history of handling cases for this employer. They run the employer-side filings (PERM labor certification, I-140 petitions, ability-to-pay arguments).

Candidates may choose their own immigration counsel if needed.

When do I get my green card?

EB-3 is an immigrant visa pathway designed to lead to U.S. permanent residency if approved. If your case is approved through every government stage, the physical green card is typically mailed to your U.S. address shortly after you enter the U.S. on your EB-3 visa. Final approval and timing are determined by U.S. government authorities.

Realistic full picture: roughly 4–5 years from signing to arrival in the U.S. — then permanent residency is yours from day one.

Can I bring my family?

Yes. Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 can come with you on the same EB-3 case. They'll go through the consular interview alongside you.

Do I need experience?

No. The EB-3 unskilled category does not require any experience or education. Training is provided by the sponsor on arrival.

What if I change my mind?

Before signing, you can walk away with no obligation. After signing, refunds are tied to specific cases (sponsor failure, operator error) — see "Our promise" section above. We don't take payment for stages we haven't started.

Why now

Four reasons not to wait another cycle.

01

The visa bulletin backlog grows every year

Today's wait is four to five years. Five years from now, the wait will likely be longer — not shorter.

02

Two cycles per year. 650 slots this one.

The next cycle opens in six months. If you wait, you don't lose your spot — you lose six months.

03

Every month abroad is a paycheck not earned in dollars

Each month of delay is a month of compounding lost earnings. The wait itself is the cost.

04

The queue is first-come, first-served. You can't skip.

No fast track, no priority for waiting. Filing today means you're four years ahead of someone who files tomorrow.

EB-3 vs. working abroad

Most overseas contracts end. This one ends with your family in the U.S.

Most Filipinos working abroad leave home expecting to come back. EB-3 is different — built around staying in the U.S., bringing your family with you, and earning in dollars long-term.

Permanence

The goodbye isn't permanent anymore.

With a green card, you can fly home for Christmas, for a funeral, for a wedding — and come back. Visit Tatay and Nanay on vacation, not as the last time.

"Mom, I'm staying this time."
Family included

Two generations cross the border on one decision.

Your spouse and unmarried children under 21 come with you on the same case. Children born after you arrive are U.S. citizens by birthright.

One decision. Two generations. Three passports, eventually.
Dollar earnings

Real money for the family back home.

U.S. prevailing wages convert to pesos at a rate that changes the math. The balikbayan box stops being your biggest contribution.

Symbolic support becomes structural support.
Your first step starts here

Every year you wait is another year your family is still waiting on the other side.

Four to five years. Real money. A pathway that has to hold together from your first call to your first day on the job in the U.S. Find out in two minutes whether you qualify — and whether this is the right move for your family.
