22M with family (wife & newborn). Looking for a realistic pathway to the US via H-2B or EB-3 Unskilled. Any advice?

Hi everyone,

I am a 22-year-old from Romania, and my goal is to legally relocate to the United States with my family (my wife and our newborn baby). We want to do this the right way and build a life there, ensuring our child can eventually go to daycare and kindergarten in the US.

However, we face a few challenges regarding the typical immigration routes, so I am looking for some realistic advice or success stories from people who were in a similar situation.

Our Background:

Age: 22 (Both me and my wife).

Dependents: One newborn child.

Skills/Education: We do not have specialized university degrees, and neither of us works for a multinational company, so an L-1 internal transfer is out of the question.

English level: Fluent/Very good. Communication won't be an issue.

The Routes We Are Considering:

1 H-2B Visa (Moving/Logistics/Hospitality): I am currently looking for US employers (specifically in the moving/logistics sector) who are willing to sponsor an out-of-country worker for a seasonal contract. My plan would be to work hard, prove my value, and eventually discuss long-term sponsorship.

2 EB-3 Unskilled Visa: I know this is a permanent residency (Green Card) route that doesn't require high specialization, but it takes a few years to process.

Our Main Questions for the Community:

H-2B with Family: How realistic is it to bring a spouse and a newborn on an H-4 dependent visa for a seasonal job like moving? Does the community recommend trying to secure the H-2B first alone, or is it manageable to handle housing for a small family on a seasonal budget?

H-2B to EB-3 Transition: Has anyone here successfully transitioned from an H-2B seasonal position to an EB-3 Unskilled permanent sponsorship with the same employer? How did you approach the conversation?

Daycare/Kindergarten: For those who moved with very young children on temporary visas, how difficult was it to enroll them in local daycares or early education programs?

We are fully aware that immigration is a long, expensive, and difficult process, but we are young, driven, and willing to do the heavy lifting.

Any insights, agency recommendations, or reality checks are highly appreciated! Thank you!

EB3.WORK

Hello there, I’d like to know if anyone here used EB3.WORK agency. I can’t find anything that proves they’re not scammers, nor they are legit.

I sent my Resume to them on as a Fast Food Crew Team, I never been to U.S, I’m from Europe. I never had any Visas in the U.S.

Let me know here in the comments or DM me if you have more information about this Visa. Do you vouch for any other Agency?
