EB-3 jobs & cities

Next recruitment cycle: Q1 2027.

Our current recruitment cycle is closed. We plan to open the next one in the first quarter of 2027. The program sponsors hospitality (front of house and back of house), warehouse, greenhouse, and light industrial roles at established U.S. employers — all entry-level, all training provided, all with EB-3 visa sponsorship for qualified international candidates. Below: the role categories, cities, and wage floors from our most recent cycle. Check your eligibility now and we will contact you when the cycle opens.

Not all EB-3 opportunities are the same

Not all EB-3 opportunities are structured the same.

Choose an employer that fits the life you want to build in the U.S.

Moving to the U.S. through EB-3 is a major life decision. The employer behind the process — and the type of opportunity you choose — can shape your experience for years to come.

Many EB-3 programs

What you'll often find online
  • Often a single fast-food franchise or small business that hires only a few people a year
  • Your process may depend entirely on one small business staying stable long-term
  • Smaller employers may only hire occasionally
  • Positions are often located in small towns or remote areas
  • Limited access to immigrant communities and support systems
  • Lower-paying positions are common

The sponsor we work with

What's listed here
  • Opportunities connected to established employers with ongoing hiring needs
  • Larger employers with established operations are more likely to remain stable through the multi-year process
  • Ongoing hiring demand allows for more available positions
  • Focus on larger cities and stronger local economies
  • Opportunities near established immigrant communities
  • Focus on fair, competitive full-time opportunities
One common path

A town you've never heard of.

Many unskilled EB-3 offers are tied to a single fast-food franchise or one small business in a small town — the kind that hires only a few people a year. You could arrive somewhere remote, hours from the nearest city, with a handful of coworkers, no immigrant community nearby, no familiar food, no church you recognize. And because your whole case is tied to that one small employer, everything depends on them staying open and committed for the years it takes.

The path here

A city where you can build a life.

Our sponsor hires in larger U.S. cities — places with established immigrant communities, where you'll find familiar food, a church, and people who arrived the same way you did. You're not just choosing a job. You're choosing where your family will live, where your children will go to school, and the community you'll build a life inside of — for the years this takes, and the years after you arrive.

The EB-3 process can take years from start to finish. That's why long-term stability — and where you may build your life in the U.S. — matters just as much as the job itself.

Our goal is to help qualified candidates access opportunities designed around stronger long-term demand, better locations, and a more structured pathway to living and working in the United States.

What to know

How the matching actually works.

Before you decide if this is right for you, three things worth understanding about how positions are matched and how wages are set.

01

You commit to one city + one role category

At signing, you pick a city and a category (hospitality FOH, hospitality BOH, or industrial). That commitment is locked into your EB-3 filing. Switching cities or categories later means re-filing — and starting the priority date over.

02

Wages shown are floors, not ceilings

Every wage above is a prevailing-wage floor set by the U.S. Department of Labor for that role in that city. Actual pay from the employer can be higher based on shift, location, and tenure. It cannot be lower.

03

If your preferred city is full

Cycles can fill before they close. If your first-choice city is at capacity when you sign, you go on the wait list for the next cycle, or pick an alternate city you've pre-approved. You don't get reassigned without your consent.

This page is informational, not legal advice. Role categories, cities, and wages reflect our most recent cycle and may change for the Q1 2027 cycle. Wage floors shown are U.S. Department of Labor prevailing-wage minimums; the employer sets actual pay above that floor. Final EB-3 visa eligibility is decided by U.S. government authorities, not by Most Solutions or any sponsor.
