Work visa question

[Viky 0]

Hello,

My husband would like to hire for his business an auto mechanic from Belgium. Does he require something from Dep of Labor?

Thank you.

He has to go through a process to obtain permission and such to have a work visa issued for the person. I assume the person lives in Belgium currently. They have to have a work visa to come here and work.

That sort of thing would be handled by his Immigration Lawyer.

Belinda63,

Permission from who? Dep of Labor?

USCIS

Before your husband can hire a foreign worker, he needs to go through a Dept. of Labor certification that he cannot find a US mechanic and that is why he needs to bring over a foreign worker.

This is not a DIY. If your husband is serious, then he needs an employment immigration attorney. He will need to pay the attorney's fees if around $5000. It's illegal for the employee to pay for the process or reimburse your husband. The business must pay for the entire visa process.

Thank you all. I though it is not going to be that easy. Probably we don't have any chance and we will be denied.

Have you discussed this with an Immigration Lawyer?

No, we have not started anything. We just want to know as much as we can about the process before we decide.

I don't think there's a shortage of mechanics in the US so you'll find someone soon-ish.

[Boiler 45,584]

There is not a shortage of IT workers either, but that is not not the issue.

Quite what the options are depends, certainly insufficient data to make any comments.

Work visa's are handled by Lawyers, a consultation would enable any practical options to be discussed.

Try finding a good BMW mechanic.....don't exist.

Not even in Germany?

[belinda63 3,038]

I meant in the US.
