Resources for Hiring Employers

FIVE important facts you need to know before hiring a foreign worker

    1. There are often different ways to hire foreign workers through our immigration system and each of them has different benefits, eligibility requirements, processing time , application procedures, and pro’s and con’s.
    2. Whatever visa or green card you file for your foreign worker, you as an employer will be the Petitioner in most cases and your worker will be the beneficiary of the petition.
    3. As a sponsoring Petitioner, in most cases, you are, in some categories, responsible for all or most of the government filing fees and possibly other fees.
    4. Some immigration categories require you to prove the financial ability to pay your foreign worker a fair wage. In some cases, the state minimum wage is the only required wage while in other cases a prevailing wage must be paid.
    5. Some categories require going through the Department of Labor’s labor certification process before proceeding with a petition with USCIS.  The labor certification process is designed to assure the employment of your foreign worker(s) will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages and working conditions of American workers.

Most common ways to sponsor a foreign worker

There are three main types of foreign workers:

  • Skilled workers (bachelor’s degree or above)
  • Unskilled workers
  • Seasonal workers

 

Visas for Skilled workers

Depending on the nature of the job and the credential of the prospective worker, there are numerous visa categories available such as H-1B specialty occupation worker Visa, L Visa for intracompany executives, O visa, TN visa  etc.  For Permanent residence there is the EB-2 category for Advanced Degree employees and EB-3 for professional employees.

 

Visas for unskilled and seasonal workers

Depending on the nature of the employment and credential of the prospective employee, there are options available for workers of this kind such as EB-3 unskilled worker green card, H-2B seasonal worker etc.
