U.S. Direct Hire connects qualified applicants with participating U.S. employers who may file a sponsorship petition for permanent residency. Each employer decides whom to hire. The U.S. government decides every immigration case. Employment and immigration approval are never guaranteed.
Takes about five minutes. No payment, job offer or immigration commitment.
EB-3 Other Worker is an employment-based immigrant category for jobs that do not require a university degree. If a qualified U.S. employer offers you a permanent, full-time position and the required government agencies approve the case, you, your spouse and qualifying unmarried children may become U.S. permanent residents.
This pathway suits people with hands-on work experience who are ready for a permanent move, a process that takes years, and a real cost.

U.S. Direct Hire provides an opportunity, and the service around it. Each employer independently decides whom to interview, hire and sponsor. The U.S. government decides every immigration case. What you pay for is the service that supports your case, from screening to arrival.
A real, permanent, full-time position with a U.S. employer that accepts the sponsorship process and covers the labor certification costs U.S. law places on employers.
You put yourself forward for the kind of work you want. The employer interviews you and decides whether to make an offer.
They prepare and file every stage of the case. USDH is not a law firm.
Documents checked at every stage, preparation for the visa interview, and help settling in after you land.
We review every employer before any candidate is introduced, and each employer decides independently whom to interview and hire.
Before we introduce anyone, we check that the employer can pay the offered wage, has a real open position, understands that the process takes about 3 to 5 years, and often longer, and agrees to cover the labor certification costs the law puts on them. Most are hotel groups and national restaurant brands.
You tell us the kind of work and the part of the U.S. you would prefer, and we consider those preferences when identifying positions you may apply for. The specific employer, city and role are confirmed with you after your eligibility check and screening.
Most positions are in hotels and quick service restaurants. These are examples of the kind of work. The roles open right now, by industry, role and city, are shown to you after the walkthrough that follows your eligibility check.
Preparing guest rooms to the property standard. Training given on the job.
One station on the line, following the property recipes.
Keeping the kitchen running, plus basic prep when service is quiet.
Restaurant service in the hotel or resort.
Front counter, drive-through or kitchen, learning every station over time.
Requirements vary by position, and every applicant must meet the requirements stated in the job offer and the certified labor application. The wage for any sponsored position is set through the U.S. Department of Labor process and confirmed to you before anything is signed. Availability changes as employers file, and no position is reserved or guaranteed. Each employer decides whom to interview and hire.
We know this is a significant amount for most families, so it is paid in parts as your case moves. Your USDH fee pays for USDH services:
The employer pays its own recruitment and labor certification costs, as U.S. law requires. Government filing fees are separate and set by the U.S. government.
Our first candidates are now approaching their visa interviews. Beside this is a certified labor certification for a USDH candidate. Names, employer and case number are covered for privacy.
A certified labor certification is one required stage of the process. It is not a petition approval, a visa approval, or a guarantee of permanent residence.
Ask us what stage a case has reached and what still has to happen after it. Every case runs on its own circumstances.
Labor certification, approved August 2026. Team member, fast food and counter work. Issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. Personal and employer details are covered for privacy.
We are here to support and guide you through the entire process: your first call, the employer interview, every filing and every document, the visa interview, and your first weeks in the U.S.
The ones that decide whether this is worth continuing. The full list covers eligibility, family, money and the process in detail.
Yes. The foundation of every EB-3 case is a bona fide offer of permanent, full-time employment from a U.S. employer. Completing the eligibility check does not constitute a job offer or guarantee an employer interview. Qualified candidates may be invited to apply for available positions, and each employer independently decides whom to interview, hire and sponsor. If an employer offers you a position and you accept it in good faith, an employment-based immigration case may then be pursued.
It is not a job you start soon. The job itself begins once your immigrant visa is issued and you arrive in the U.S., about 3 to 5 years from now, and often longer, depending on your country of birth.
They cover USDH services: screening and preparation, case coordination, document work, interview preparation and support after you arrive. They are separate from government filing fees, which are set by the government. They do not pay for, or reimburse the employer for, recruitment or the labor certification, which U.S. law requires the employer to bear. The full itemisation is in the service agreement you receive before paying anything.
No. This is a legal process decided by the U.S. government, and every case is assessed on its own facts. What we do is work with vetted employers, screen every candidate, and arrange a consultation with independent immigration attorneys before you sign anything.
Usually yes. A spouse and unmarried children under 21 may be eligible to be included on the same case. Eligibility depends on the rules that apply when the case is filed, and children who are close to 21 need particular attention. We go through your family situation with you, and the attorneys review it in your legal consultation, before anything is submitted.
Takes about five minutes. No payment, job offer or immigration commitment.
