Program Summary

Did you know that employer-sponsored immigration benefits can:

  • Allow an employer to sponsor international workers to solve a seasonal or peakload hiring need (H-2B);
  • Allow an employer to secure employees with an essential skill set (H-1B, TN);
  • Require advance planning due to clearances required from the Department of Labor, USCIS, and Department of State; and
  • Call for all employers to ensure a compliant workforce based on a 2018 pledge to increase I-9 worksite audits by 400%

Learning Objectives

1.       Explain employer sponsorship for a work authorized visa in the         context of a few visa categories.
2.       Explain the U.S. federal agencies involved and requirements for       visa sponsorship.
3.       Offer employers tools to assess whether a staffing need could         be filled by visa sponsorship.
4.       Provide a reference guide to employer-sponsored work visa             classifications and I-9 questions in the current era of ensuring         workplace compliance.
