A new open restaurant in the US wants to hire my brother(what visa)

[MsDup 0]

Hello everyone! How are y'all today!

I have questions for my brother, he is a chef cook working in UAE right now and he is yet under provisionary for six mos. well my question is my Husband's cousin has a restaurant here in the US and wants to hire my brother, what type of working visa would be the right one?

Since he is on under provesionary, he told me he can quit anytime. My 2nd question is, if he can apply the visa from Dubai since he is in Duabai? or he should go back to the Philippines (homeland) and apply it from there?

Thank you so much for spending your time to read my questions. We hope you guys could share your Knowledge about this matter.

Thank you I appreciate you

Have a good day!

Since it would be pretty difficult to prove your husband's cousin couldn't find a US citizen or LPR to work at his restaurant, there's not a lot of hope for your brother as a foreigner. There's no visa that would allow for him to do unskilled work at a restaurant. If that visa existed everybody would bring the rest of their family to the US.

You can petition for him when you become a citizen, but it takes a few years. Right now they are processing applications filed in January 1991 for siblings of US citizens in the Philippines.

He has to prove he cannot find anyone in the US that has the skills he needs in his restaurant.

First stop would be for your Husband's cousin to talk to his Immigration Lawyer.

For a Chef, H1b or O1 would be the normal ones. I have also met Chef's on L's but they were transferred.

My husband's friend transferred as a Chef but the employer had a lot to prove that they needed someone with his skills and it was a major international hotel chain. It took about a year, because they had to post the position, and prove that after a year of posting, the job could not be filled within the US, or by promoting other employees.

Depends on the visa, not for the ones I mentioned.

Not what? You still need an LCA for an H1B, and for an O he would have to be a pretty great chef. Visas are granted for professional, very skilled chefs, not cooks.
