U.S. Work Visa

[timhber 0]

Hello All,

My wife is an U.S citizen. She has a brother who lives in Vietnam. Her brother also attends college majoring in Mechanical Technology and will be graduated in less than 6 months. He wants to come and work in the U.S right away after he graduates from college. My wife and I both have jobs. I also have a small home business in computer information. How can we bring my wife's brother to the U.S and so he can works? Can I petition and help him get a U.S work visa since I have a small business? Please let us know what is the fastest process and how do we bring him to the U.S.right away so he can works here?

Thank you everyone!
Tim

You can't, he doesn't have enough qualifications and it doesn't sound like your business is specialised enough to need a foreign worker.

If your wife is a US citizen, she can petition her brother in the sibling category, but it will take many years. Otherwise, if you have the funds, maybe him doing a Masters in the USA would be a possibility?

Possibly the same route as his Sister?

You cannot apply for him for work isa unless you are in an STEM inustry and show proof that you are unable to fill position with candidates from US. Your wife can apply for brother through I-130.

Really?

What kind of qualification does he needs? His father owns a welding and machinery business. He is helping his father and his business. He has some welding and machinery experience. Plus he goes to college to get a mechanical technology degree. Can we find any company that will apply for his work visa to work for them? He doesn't care any kind of job now. He will work for any job now until he could find a job in his work field. He also wants to continue his education after he gets a job so he can pays for it.

The second option, is to apply a student visa for him to come to the U.S to continue his education. I heard college tutition costs alot more for foreign students than the U.S students. We chose to apply a work visa for him because he is almost finish college and he likes to work in the U.S right away after he finishes college.

you need to find an employer that's willing to petition him for at least a H1-B visa, but i think the quota for this year has already been reached.

yup, foreign students pay more than students who are citizens or permanent residents.

Which work visa, none comes to mind.

We're looking for any work visa for him that is the quickest for him to work in the U.S.

There just isn't any - you realize there are billions of people that want to come work in US ? Ever wondered why they don't ?

[Boiler 45,314]

So he will qualify with a BEng?

Probably the best bet is to get some experience in with a multi national with a possible move to the US.

Obviously jobs of this nature seem to rely on networking, not my area but Linkedin etc seems to be the way to go.

A quicker route would be to do his Masters in the US, OPT will give him work possibilities and obviously if you are here makes life easier as far as making contacts etc.

He doesn't mind if he comes here with the student visa. That was his and our second option. He plans to come to the U.S to work after he gets his degree and continue his education at the same time. He wants to work so he has the money to pay the tutition himself.

We thought he has a better chance getting a work visa than a student visa because of his college education and mechanical back ground. Also he doesn't have the money to pay his college tutition. We know some people that are close and we are going to talk to them to see if they are willing to apply work visa so he can work for them.

If that does not go well. We will apply for a student visa and help him pay for his college tutition.

He needs to go to his university town and see if they have any work and travel programs, J1 visa or HB visas, opair, they are 3 months or 6 months visas, he comes here, he works, he meets people and who knows maybe he falls in love and adjusts to GC, just a thought, do some research

Any work visa that you might be able to sponsor him for would likely require him to have at least a bachelor's degree in a STEM field (EB-3). If he has a master's or higher, it would be even easier (EB-2). Otherwise, you're pretty much stuck.

More likely a H1b.
