What documents and evidence does an EB-3 petition typically require?

The core of an EB-3 filing is the employer's Form I-140 supported by the approved labor certification. The petition must show that you actually meet the minimum requirements listed on the labor certification as of the priority date, so documentation of your qualifications is central.

Depending on your subgroup, that evidence can include degree certificates and credential evaluations for professionals, or letters from previous employers verifying the required years of training or experience for skilled workers. Employers also typically need to show their ability to pay the offered wage. Gathering accurate, well-documented proof of qualifications early helps avoid Requests for Evidence and delays.
