A terceira categoria de green card baseado no emprego (EB-3) dos Estados Unidos: um paralelo com a obtenção de autorização de residência para fins laborais no Brasil

Abstract

Migration flows have been increasingly gaining prominence, being both facilitated by globalization and strengthening it. Given the growing number of Brazilians migrating to the United States, which has the largest Brazilian immigrant community, this paper aims to disseminate knowledge about how foreigners can establish themselves in Brazil and in the United States for employment purposes through job offers. Specifically, it details the third category of employment-based green cards (EB-3) and draws parallels with the residence authorization for employment purposes in Brazil. The legal status of immigrants in Brazil and the United States is also presented from the perspective of their respective internal laws. Regarding the methodology, the paper discusses these issues through bibliographic, documentary, and legislative research, as well as data obtained from specialized institutes. Concerning its purpose, it is a matter of demonstrating an analysis about the legal and practical characteristics of migration and document issuance, aiming to deepen an already available knowledge and adopting a qualitative approach and the deductive method.
