EB-3 Success Case: Nigeria-Born Professional Green Card
EB-3 Nigeria professional success: bachelor’s degree, PERM, I-140, consular green card. Africa applicant example.
Short answer: A Nigeria-born applicant held a degree evaluated as U.S. bachelor’s-equivalent. The employer completed PERM and I-140 in the EB-3 professional category; the applicant received an immigrant visa after the consular interview.
Case focus
A formal degree evaluation was obtained; transcripts and diploma translations matched; work experience was related and supported by company letters. Police certificates, medicals and appointment timing for the relevant African post were scheduled early. See US EB-3 Employment-Based Immigration.
Milestones
| Stage | Result |
|---|---|
| Degree evaluation | Completed |
| PERM / I-140 | Certified and approved |
| Interview | Immigrant visa |
Lessons
Professional cases turn on degree-to-job match. Consistent evaluation and name spellings reduce RFEs. Employers should expect a multi-year path from start to entry.
Global Immigrate’s recommendation
Finish the degree evaluation before locking PERM education minimums. Collect police certificates for every country of residence on the checklist. Prepare to explain at interview why the role requires this educational background.
