The main difference between EB-2 and EB-3 lies in the education and experience requirements and visa availability. EB-2 is for individuals with advanced degrees (master’s or higher) or those with exceptional ability in sciences, arts, or business. EB-3 is for professionals (with a bachelor’s degree), skilled workers (with at least two years of experience), and unskilled workers. EB-2 applicants often benefit from faster processing times due to more favorable visa bulletin cut-off dates compared to EB-3, depending on the applicant’s country of chargeability.
