The USCIS must approve an immigrant petition (application) that was filed for you, usually by an employer |  | | • |
In most employment categories (EB-2 and EB-3), a U.S. employer must complete a Labor Certification request (ETA - 750) for you from the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration | |
| • | The State Department must give you an immigrant visa number, even if you are already in the U.S. |

outside the U.S. when an immigrant visa number becomes available, you will be notified to go to the local U.S. consulate to complete the processing for an immigrant visa. |
