In the EB-3 unskilled process, if you are married or have children, they may qualify to join your application as a dependent. Dependents that qualify include legal spouses and unmarried children under the age of 21. Dependents are eligible to accompany the primary applicant throughout the immigration process and can benefit from certain privileges.

One significant advantage is that dependents, just like the primary applicant, may receive work permits if they are adjusting their status within the United States. This allows them the freedom to seek employment in any job of their choice, providing increased flexibility and opportunities for financial stability. It is important to note that while dependents have the freedom to work in any field, the primary applicant is generally required to fulfill their commitment to work for their sponsoring employer in a full-time capacity.

Furthermore, dependents will ultimately receive their green cards around the same time as the primary applicant, granting them lawful permanent residency in the United States. This status affords them the rights and benefits associated with being a permanent resident, including the ability to live and work permanently in the country. Overall, the inclusion of dependents in the EB3 unskilled process not only allows families to stay together but also provides dependents with valuable opportunities for employment and long-term stability.
