A Quick Guide for International Truck Drivers Considering the EB-3 Visa
If you're an experienced truck driver exploring opportunities in the U.S., it’s natural to have a lot of questions.
At Experienced Associates, we guide skilled drivers through the EB-3 immigration process every day. While each journey is unique, a few questions come up time and time again.
Here are the top five – answered simply and clearly.
1. Can I bring my family?
Yes, in most cases. Spouses and children under the age of 21 can often be included in your EB-3 visa case, which means they may receive their own Green Cards and relocate with you.
However, every family situation is different – and the documentation and process can vary. We’ve worked with all kinds of family structures and will walk you through exactly what’s needed. Our team will help you prepare and file the necessary paperwork so your family can join you in the U.S.
2. How long does the process take?
Typically 30 to 45 months. This includes job matching, legal paperwork, petition filings, and approvals. Timing depends on your country of birth and how quickly documents are submitted. Our team keeps you informed every step of the way so you’re never in the dark.
3. What kind of employers do you work with?
We only partner with trusted U.S. companies that are committed to long-term success for their employees. These employers:
Have low driver turnover
Offer consistent routes and competitive pay
Provide orientation and paid training
Have a history of sponsoring and supporting international drivers
We don’t place drivers with just any company – only those who are ready and able to support your immigration journey and future career.
4. Will I have a job waiting for me?
Yes. Before any immigration paperwork is filed, you'll complete an interview and receive a formal job offer from a U.S. carrier. That job offer becomes the foundation for your EB-3 visa petition, and you’ll be placed with a carrier that matches your background and goals.
5. What documents do I need to apply?
To start, you'll need:
A valid passport
An ID from your home country
10-year employment history that includes at least 2 years of long-haul/OTR truck driving experience
Basic identification documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.)
We’ll provide you with a document checklist and ongoing support so you never feel overwhelmed.
