Questions to ask before pursuing EB-3 are things you should ask yourself to assess your fit and readiness, before embarking on a long journey. Answering honestly helps avoid hasty decisions. This article lists the questions to consider before pursuing EB-3.
Questions before pursuing EB-3 about conditions and capability
The first group of questions revolves around conditions: do I have the skills or experience suited to a particular job? Am I able to find an employer to sponsor me? Is my health adequate for the intended job?
Answering this group helps you know whether you have a suitable foundation for the EB-3 category, and what further preparation is needed.
Questions about time and finances
The second group relates to readiness: can I handle a wait that could be lengthy? Is my finances enough for the case costs and the initial period after moving? Does the family agree?
These are practical questions that determine one’s ability to see it through. Many people only think about the destination and forget to consider the journey.
Questions about information and vigilance
The last group relates to staying alert: have I researched from official sources yet? Am I being drawn in by any promise of “guaranteed approval” or “fast processing”? Do I clearly understand the costs and the process?
You should refer to guidance on staying alert to scams and official information on the EB-3 category to answer this group of questions based on facts.
Summary
Questions before pursuing EB-3 fall into three groups: conditions and capability, time and finances, and information and vigilance. Honestly answering all three groups helps you make a sound decision instead of rushing. Rely on official sources when assessing yourself.
