Introduction
Preparing a complete and accurate EB-3 application from the beginning is crucial to ensuring a smooth process and a higher approval rate.
Since TGA works directly with U.S. employers, we require a clear and standardized document set to guarantee legal compliance during PERM, I-140 processing, and the consular interview.
Below is the official EB-3 document checklist, adjusted according to TGA’s standardized workflow and based on the documents you have previously provided.
