Divorce after Eb3 visa

[Kate8kate0 4]

So husband and I have immigrated to the United States after an approved EB3 Visa we’ve been together for 23 years, 22 year old daughter, married since 2017.

I feel strong enough for divorce now. It breaks my heart as I wanted it to work for years and years, its unrequited love and unreciprocated respect, my question is how will it affect me?

 

Thank you

You are free to divorce and your LPR status is not conditional on staying married for any specified period. 5 years from when you got green card, go ahead and nationalize.

Out of curiosity, how long did the EB 3 take from start to finish?

 

I would be guessing 6 years and a cost of $ 30 K …am I totally wrong?

No I’m a nurse, no ‘pay to play’ went on here.

There are multiple companies like BVD Solutions and others whose sites show fees/prices of approx $15-20K per person for entry level fast food positions.

 

Welcome …a few Nurses that post regularly on forum . Hope they get a chance to say hello.

 

So how long did it take?

I know about those, they always get denied at US embassies abroad, those are the unpublished facts and people lose that money x

@Family, not as much as 30k.   Mercan and BDV are mentioned quite a bit.

I really wish you would stop trolling every post I make with talk about these bloody agencies it’s driving me crazy, I can never keep any of my posts on topic manyfudge

Just intellectual curiosity.  Tons of people on various expat forums talk about it openly.  Nobody puts a name to the agencies.  It's fine - @Family, there's probably a public resource out there naming ALL the Eb3 sponsoring agencies.  

 

I happen to be curious about the cottage industries springing up around getting people workbased visas.

 

@Kate8kate0, divorce does not impact either of you whatsoever in terms of green cards.  There are no conditions to remove.

I was genuinely interested in your process /timeline OP.

Do you see many E B3 complete the process ?

A few, yes.  

 

Anecdotally, on reddit - there are complaints by Eb3 unskilled filers who admit to using agencies - they are assigned to jobs that don't pay enough for where they live.

 

You'll see on Hacking, people who get GCs when they arrive but there is no job for them.  Hacking is very suspicious but if you make yourself available for the job, 

I don't think it's a scam. 

 

Maybe just never naturalize and be happy with a GC.

 

There is a website that claims to show the employers who file for EB3 petitions.   You can't sort by unskilled/agencies BUT you can sort by salaries.  https://www.myvisajobs.com/reports/green-card/

 

My hunch is that salaries under 50k, 40k are EB3 unskilled positions.

 

Top industries are poultry and other food processing jobs.  

 

There looks to be a high rate of approvals, so I'm sure the process completes and I'm also confident that "Wayne Farms" and "Catfish ..." recruit through agencies.

If one looks at where those factories are located and add a google search for "recruitment agencies", I'm sure you can figure out the name of the

agencies.

 

Back when M was active, he said that he thought it was a little known but (relatively) cheap way of getting a green card.  Better than EB5 if you think about it - no conditions to be removed.
