EB-3 Success Case: Taiwan Applicant Skilled Worker Green Card via PERM
EB-3 Taiwan success case: skilled worker PERM→I-140→immigrant visa. Worldwide quota and overseas processing example.
Short answer: A Taiwan-born applicant with more than two years of job-related experience received a permanent full-time U.S. offer and completed recruitment, PERM and I-140 as an EB-3 skilled worker. When the priority date was current under the worldwide quota, they obtained an immigrant visa through NVC and consular interview; the spouse was approved as a derivative.
Background and match
The job’s minimum was two years of relevant experience (bachelor’s not required); the work history was verifiable, avoiding mismatch between a strong résumé and weak stated requirements—or the reverse. The employer confirmed prevailing wage and PERM cost responsibility. The applicant prepared documents mainly in Taiwan without a prior U.S. work visa. See US EB-3 Employment-Based Immigration.
Process highlights
Recruitment ads and postings complied; PERM approval set the priority date; I-140 experience letters and duties matched the ads. Employer contact continued during the backlog. When numbers were available, civil documents, medical exam and interview prep moved quickly.
Outcome and lessons
Principal and spouse were issued visas and entered. Taiwan applicants can use the worldwide quota and overseas path; success turns on a real employer and consistent PERM file, not on already being in the United States.

Global Immigrate’s recommendation
Confirm employer sponsorship and job minimums before starting. Experience letters should be specific and verifiable. Worldwide quota still needs the monthly bulletin. Counsel and employer HR should share one timeline.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use EB-3 without a bachelor’s degree?
Yes. Skilled worker focuses on about 2 years of experience/training; other workers have a lower bar but often longer backlog.

Yes. The employer runs PERM/I-140 in the U.S.; you use NVC and consular processing.
Does the spouse always get status too?
Qualifying spouses are usually included as derivatives, subject to adjudication.
Can this result be copied exactly?
Strategy reference only; different employers, jobs and bulletin dates mean results are not guaranteed to match.
