An H1B work visa requires that a US company sponsor the visa and file the petition for the applicant. Even if you have been offered a job, there is no guarantee that your prospective employer will want to sponsor an H1B. One of the most common questions by one seeking a to work with an H1B visa is how to find the US companies that are most likely to sponsor this type of non-immigrant visa.
How Does a Company Qualify to Sponsor H1B Visas?
In order to file an H1B petition on behalf of a foreign national, the US company must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA), which basically states that hiring a foreign worker for the position will not have an adverse effect on US citizen workers. This requires a showing that the job compensation and benefits will be the same as for others in the same role, that there is no negative impact on other employees and that the company is not involved in an active labor dispute. The LCA is specific to the job and the location of employment.
The company also has to demonstrate that it has the cash flow to pay the H1B employee the average wage for the job. For this reason, it is recommended that applicants seek sponsorship with established companies that routinely employ H1B visa holders. It’s not impossible, but start-ups may have more difficulty establishing the financial condition for ensuring payment of wages to employees.
There is also a fee for filing the petition, so considering all of these steps, some companies will simply elect to hire US citizens if the skill set can be found. Nonetheless, the path to obtaining an H1B visa can be navigated with the right information, assistance and tools.
