Some sources claimed the process was nearly impossible, while others suggested it could take many years to complete. Despite the uncertainty, he decided to pursue a legal pathway to permanent residence in the United States through employer sponsorship.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp style=\"margin-bottom:13px\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\">\u003Cspan style=\"line-height:115%\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family:Cambria,serif\">His journey began when a U.S. employer in South Dakota offered a full-time position and agreed to sponsor him through the EB-3 program. Like all EB-3 cases, the process started with PERM Labor Certification, where the employer demonstrated to the U.S. Department of Labor that no qualified and available U.S. workers could be found for the position.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp style=\"margin-bottom:13px\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\">\u003Cspan style=\"line-height:115%\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family:Cambria,serif\">After a Department of Labor audit and an extended review period, the PERM application was approved, establishing Mr. Nguyen's Priority Date.

Although the immigrant petition was approved quickly, Mr. Nguyen still had to wait for visa availability due to the EB-3 Other Workers visa backlog.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp style=\"margin-bottom:13px\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-size:11pt\">\u003Cspan style=\"line-height:115%\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family:Cambria,serif\">Once his Priority Date became current, the case moved to the National Visa Center (NVC), where he completed the DS-260 immigrant visa application and submitted all required civil documents.
