G-3 Representative of a Non-Recognized or Non-Member Government Visa
For representatives of governments that the United States does not recognize, or that are not members of a designated international organization, who are attending or assigned to that organization, and their immediate family members.
- Срок
- Initial admission: duration of status (D/S), tied to continued Dept of State recognition (8 CFR 214.2(g)(1)).
- Продление
- No formal extension-of-stay filing; D/S continues while recognized. G-3 is NOT on the specific domestic-renewal list (limited to A-1, A-2, G-1, G-4, NATO-1, NATO-6) - must apply for a new visa abroad.
- Работа
- Employment authorized only in the official representative capacity.
- Двойное намерение
- limited - no explicit dual-intent statute; status tied to the assignment. No G-3-specific special immigrant/green-card category exists.
- Члены семьи
- May work under a formal bilateral employment agreement or informal de facto reciprocal arrangement (Form I-566, then USCIS employment authorization in increments up to 3 years) - G-3 is included in the 8 CFR 214.2(g)(2) dependent-employment provisions, same as G-1.
- Путь к грин-карте
- No G-3-specific special immigrant category. Standard family- or employment-based sponsorship only, if independently eligible.

- Cannot renew the visa inside the US - must apply abroad despite sharing many rules with G-1
- Dependent work authorization still depends on a qualifying bilateral or de facto arrangement with the sending state
