Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as an A&P Mechanic
Verify your FAA certificates before applying
Your Airframe and Powerplant certificates must be current and unrestricted before any PERM filing begins. USCIS and DOL both require the employer to document that you meet every listed job requirement on the date of filing.
Target MRO facilities and Part 145 repair stations
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul facilities operating under FAA Part 145 certificates regularly sponsor foreign A&P Mechanics because domestic hiring pools are thin. Narrowing your search to these employers shortens the time between application and a PERM-ready offer.
Search green card sponsorship history on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter A&P Mechanic roles by employers with active PERM and EB-3 filing history, so you're applying to companies already set up to sponsor rather than educating an employer about the process from scratch.
Understand how prevailing wage affects your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your job zone and work location. Check the OFLC Wage Search tool yourself so you can evaluate whether an offer meets the threshold before PERM is filed.
Collect maintenance logbooks and type-rating records early
PERM audits for A&P roles frequently request proof of hands-on experience with specific aircraft types. Gather your logbooks, employer verification letters, and any type-specific training records before your employer starts the labor certification process.

Can an A&P Mechanic qualify for an EB-2 or EB-3 green card?
Most A&P Mechanic roles qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers, since the occupation typically requires specialized training rather than a bachelor's degree. EB-2 is available if the role genuinely requires an advanced degree or if you qualify for a National Interest Waiver based on your specialized aviation maintenance expertise, though NIW approval for trade-certified roles is uncommon.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for A&P Mechanics?
H-1B requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation, which is difficult to establish for most A&P Mechanic positions since they rely on FAA certification rather than a bachelor's degree. EB-3 green card sponsorship through PERM has no lottery, no specialty-occupation test, and leads directly to permanent residency rather than a temporary status requiring renewal.
What is the PERM labor certification process for an A&P Mechanic role?
The employer files a PERM application with the DOL certifying that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the position at the prevailing wage. This requires a documented recruitment campaign, a defined job description matching your actual duties, and proof you meet all stated requirements. Only after DOL certifies the PERM can the employer file an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS on your behalf.
Where can I find A&P Mechanic jobs where the employer will sponsor a green card?
Migrate Mate filters aviation maintenance roles specifically by employers with documented EB-3 and PERM filing history, so you can focus on companies that have already completed sponsorships rather than those encountering the process for the first time. This matters because PERM is employer-driven and sponsor experience significantly affects how smoothly the filing goes.
How long does the EB-3 green card process take for an A&P Mechanic?
The full timeline from PERM filing to receiving your green card runs roughly two to four years for most countries, depending on your country of birth and USCIS processing volumes. Nationals from India and China face longer waits due to per-country backlogs in the visa bulletin. PERM alone typically takes six to eighteen months depending on whether DOL audits the application.
