The likely outcome of not obtaining labor certification for an EB-3 petition is that the petition will be denied. Labor certification is a crucial prerequisite for an EB-3 visa, which is intended for skilled workers, professionals, and other workers. It serves to show that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position being offered to the foreign national, thereby justifying the hiring of a foreign worker.

In the process, if this step is skipped or not properly fulfilled, the petition lacks the necessary evidence that demonstrates compliance with labor market protections. Consequently, immigration authorities will likely reject the application due to non-compliance with the requirements of the EB-3 category.
