Interest from US employers..but do I qualify for a Visa?

[Ly2626 1]

Hi all,

I have been in contact with a few US employers interested in my background but I am not sure I qualify for a Visa because I keep seeing everywhere that you need a job offer and they can sponsor me but I only see TN and H1 visas which I don't believe I fit.

I am a Senior Talent Acquisition advisor in my current role. I have a 3 year college diploma and 8 years working experience. I work specifically in high level IT roles and consulting.

Employers have expressed it is tough to find good people in this area but I still cant find anything that qualifies business minded candidates to get there?

help/advice? Thanks everyone!!

It sounds like you qualify for an H-1B, but the problem is they are very limited in number. I haven't keep up with the availability windows lately, but it could be late in 2014 before you could actually get one.

Thanks for replying, looks like I would need a schooling background in Computer Engineering but I don't. I am definitely on the business side, just working within the computer engineering space.

Anyone else have a similar situation or thoughts?

If your diploma related to your occupation?How difficult would it be to upgrade to a degree?

You can use would experience in place of education, but these sort of issues should really be discussed with the Employers Immigration Lawyer. Very fact specific.
