[nabeelt 0]

Hi,

I am nabeel living in Pakistan. I've been working as a freelance internet marketer for a company based in USA. They are interested in offering me an in house job but we both don't know the process how i can get there. I would appreciate if someone can tell me the process how my company can process my visa application or what steps they should take to get it done.

Please respond with useful info.

Thanks,

Nabeel

The US company has to sponsor your work visa (H1). Not sure what you mean when you say they do not know the process of getting you here. All prospective employers have to sponsor H1s for international employees that they wish to get into the US. Their lawyer must be able to advise them best on this.

They are willing to sponsor it but all they want to know is the process. Can you please make some bullet points that i can represent to them in order to get this process done?

Your response is much appreciated!

They need a lawyer for this, and it will cost them $5000+

They need labor certification (essentially, proof no US citizen can do the job) and send it documents. Then you will have an interview at your local US embassy and have to prove you have the qualifications/ experience you claim.

Hey Queen,

That's something really helpful. Can you also please share some links in this regard. I need to document all those points in bullets so i would prefer to do more research on that. Share some authentic links that tell cost, labor certification etc etc..

Thanks,

Nabeel

You have already got some good answers here. This is something they will have to discuss with their lawyer and the lawyer is the one who can give you any good guidance on this. Do they have a lawyer? If so, you can rest easy.

They actually wanted me to submit a PPT presentation doc explaining each and everything about it. I did some research before asking you guys and found a lot of information that a normal human can't understand like the visa terms, unnecessary theory etc..

Anyways thanks for your reply.

It seems your company has never done this before and they dont have an immigration lawyer nor an educated HR dept.

If they would had that they would not need you to do a presentation, this information is readily available to anyone and for any company who has done this before knows the details.

agreed. the company should be telling you what to do not the other way around. You certain these ppl are legit??

[MrsNotBonJovi 18]

I agree with the others here, your company should know the ropes and must hire a lawyer.

Be warned that investing your future in a company that does not even know how to go about the immigration process is a calculated risk. Immigration is a labyrinth and you need to watch where you step, else you are toast. Also, if they have never done this before,I would suggest you look for another employer. All the best!

Would such a job have a degree requirement and do you have that degree?

Bearing in mind you job it seems somewhat odd question to ask here.
