Professionals · EB-3 / PERM
A real job. A permanent future in the United States.
When U.S. employment supports the path to permanent residence. MGM coordinates company, role and professional with competence · without selling jobs or inventing sponsors.
Start with the real opportunity: company, role and sponsorship stage.
When a permanent role supports the path to residence.
EB-3 is an employment-based residence category. In many cases, PERM is the labor stage before the petition · always with a U.S. company and a legitimate permanent role.
Residence through employment
The pathway relies on a real permanent role, not a shortcut.
Company and role aligned
Sponsorship requires a legitimate need and organization between the parties.
Visible stages
PERM, petition and residence advance with clear responsibilities.
These elements depend on the individual context and the applicable steps.
The dream starts with a real opportunity · not a shortcut.
In plain terms: EB-3 is the employment-based residence category; PERM is often the labor stage before the petition. It depends on a U.S. company and a legitimate permanent role.
I already have a permanent offer
A company, role and real interest in starting the sponsorship.
My company wants to sponsor
A permanent need and willingness to structure the process clearly.
I am still evaluating
You need to confirm the legitimacy of the role and fit with your background.
Looking for a job or a sponsor?
MGM does not sell jobs or provide sponsors. We get involved when a real opportunity already exists. Without an employer, other pathways may make more sense · see EB-2 NIW.
A real opportunity can be the start of a permanent future.
The first step is not to promise residence. It is to confirm that company, role and professional form a legitimate story to move forward responsibly.
Competence: coordinate a process with many people and stages.
Company and professional need to know what to provide, when and why. MGM organizes the flow so the dream moves with responsibility.
Scenario
Company, position, beneficiary and goal.
Responsibilities
Who delivers each document and what the next dependency is.
Organization
Corporate and professional documents in a coherent flow.
Follow-up
A visible current stage and preparation for the next move.
Guidance
EB-3 / PERM or EB-2 NIW?
The choice depends on whether there is an employer and a permanent role · or a proposal whose job-offer waiver is justified across the case as a whole.
EB-3 / PERM
Residence with an employer
Starts from a U.S. company and a legitimate permanent role. In many cases, it includes a labor stage (PERM) before the petition.
EB-2 NIW
National-interest proposal
Starts from EB-2 qualification and a proposal whose waiver of the job offer and labor certification is in the national interest.
Without a real employer, other pathways may make more sense. The decision must weigh the current picture and the immigration goal.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before you begin.
Does MGM find a company to sponsor me?
No. We do not sell jobs or provide sponsors. Our work begins with a real opportunity
Does an approved PERM mean I already have a Green Card?
No. It is one stage. Petition, visa availability and the residence stage still follow
Can I file the PERM myself?
In general, the PERM labor stage is led by the employer. You contribute information and documents; MGM coordinates operational organization when there is a real project · without replacing legal analysis
How long does it take?
It varies by stage and case. We do not promise a fixed timeline
What is PERM?
PERM is labor certification before the U.S. Department of Labor, a common step on certain employer-sponsored residence pathways (such as many EB-3 cases). It is not the Green Card: it is an earlier phase before the immigration petition
What is EB-3?
In general terms (informational guidance): EB-3 is an employment-based permanent residence category. In many coordination scenarios it includes the PERM labor stage before the immigration petition (I-140), with a sponsoring employer · it is not a temporary visa. Case structure belongs to an independent attorney
What is the I-140 petition?
It is the form used, on many employment-based pathways, to ask USCIS for immigrant classification (a step toward a Green Card). It follows earlier steps when they apply (such as PERM) and does not by itself complete permanent residence
What is a Green Card?
It is the common name for the document that proves lawful permanent residence in the United States. A Green Card holder may live and work in the country permanently, subject to the rules for maintaining that status. It is not U.S. citizenship
What is USCIS?
It is the U.S. government agency that handles many immigration and citizenship filings inside the country (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services). When a case has steps abroad, other agencies (such as the Department of State) may also be involved
Is there a real opportunity to be assessed?
Tell us the company, role and opportunity stage. The assessment is not a job offer or eligibility confirmation.
Initial contact with no guarantee of eligibility, approval or outcome. Submission does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not create an engagement. MGM provides global mobility coordination and administrative support; legal services, when needed, are provided separately by independent U.S.-licensed counsel.
