Employer-sponsored EB3 visa: do you know any nurse who's gotten it?

[KTakami25]

Do you know of any nurse who had their employer sponsor an EB3 visa so that the nurse could get permanent legal status in the US? If so, what was the process like?

A bit of context: My nurse coworker friend is a DACA recipient. He worked many extra shifts to help our COVID unit during the heavy December/January COVID surge and is an excellent nurse. There is NO pathway for citizenship for him (though there's another DACA bill on its way to Senate that is not likely to pass) and I think that's messed up, especially because he was there on the COVID frontline helping care of our COVID patients, helped us with many extra shifts. And so, that's why I'm thinking instead of waiting for DACA to miraculously provide an upgrade/pathway to citizenship, we probably should look into asking our employer if they could sponsor him an EB3 visa as described here https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/E2en.pdf

 

As an immigrant myself (lucky for me I had a green card and now am a US citizen) and as his friend, I feel inclined to help. He's not one to complain so I asked our HR department on his behalf for input/help (with his permission). While I wait for HR's input, I want to hear from you guys if you have any experience in the matter. Thank you in advance.
