If you’re an internationally trained nurse dreaming of a career in the United States, the EB-3 visa could be your golden opportunity.

At AOLA Healthcare Staffing, we specialize in helping nurses from around the world, including countries like the Philippines, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone, achieve permanent U.S. employment through the EB-3 program.

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what the EB-3 visa is, who qualifies, and how AOLA can support you every step of the way.

---

What is the EB-3 Visa?

The EB-3 visa is a U.S. employment-based immigrant visa designed for skilled workers, including Registered Nurses (RNs). It allows you to live and work permanently in the United States and leads directly to a green card — not just for you, but also for your spouse and children under 21.

Unlike temporary work visas, the EB-3 offers stability, long-term employment, and a pathway to U.S. citizenship if you choose to pursue it.

Who Can Apply for an EB-3 Visa as a Nurse?

To qualify as a nurse under the EB-3 category, you need to meet these criteria:

✅ Registered Nurse (RN) license in your home country
✅ A recognized nursing degree or diploma
✅ Passed the NCLEX-RN exam or willing to prepare for it
✅ English proficiency demonstrated through IELTS or TOEFL
✅ A full-time job offer from a U.S. healthcare employer

💡 AOLA Healthcare Staffing provides job matching services and full visa sponsorship support as part of our direct hire model.

What’s Included in the EB-3 Visa?

When you’re sponsored for the EB-3 visa through AOLA, you receive:

✔️ A permanent, full-time nursing job in the United States
✔️ A green card (lawful permanent residence)
✔️ Green cards for your spouse and dependent children under age 21
✔️ The opportunity to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years

How Long Does the Process Take?

Typical processing times for the EB-3 visa range from 6 to 24 months, depending on visa availability (as per the U.S. Visa Bulletin) and how quickly your documents are prepared. AOLA helps streamline this process by guiding you through every milestone.
