Employment-based sponsorship requires that a U.S. company sponsors you for Permanent Resident Status based on your current position or a future position offered to you. While this may sound straight-forward, in actuality it is a very complex and time-consuming process depending on the category the application falls into. The category is determined by the position being offered rather than the qualifications of the employee.

In addition, there are strict requirements from both the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that must be adhered to. This may include recruitment and attestations regarding no displacement of U.S. workers, financial viability of the sponsoring employer, and proof of foreign educational equivalent for the beneficiary of the "green card" application.
