Jobs that petition

[Marieke H 2,510]

Instead of looking for employers who sometimes petition employees, I think you should start by asking yourself which special skills you have that make you valuable as an employee. Once you have that figured out, look for employers that may be interested in those skills.

You are likely to have better luck returning home and going to work for a dompany that sponsors L-1.  For your current type position, your US experience will be of value. L-1s also do not have a lottery.

That's a first. Thank you for that.

HI, broken record here!
 

You're going to have more luck putting together a polished resume and sorting out what skills make you a better hire than an American worker.

 

- Do you speak more than one language?

- Do you have a degree?

- Do you have certifications? 

 

You will be hard pressed to find a job with sponsorship without those three things.

IT is the obvious sector, specialist skills not easily found in the US.

Exactly, that is the case of my company, they will sponsor other positions, not mine. And yes sales consultant is nothing special and I even mentioned that since it doesn't require special abilities my employer won't do it - I understand it all. That wasnt the point of my post, but thank you for your thoughts. 

Which is why my first post, which you didn’t answer, asked if you planned to do a different type of job that would enable someone to sponsor you. If you’re not going to do a different role, then I’m really not sure what the point of your post is - as you already know no one will sponsor you doing what you are doing right now?

 

i doubt having a year’s experience as a sales consultant in the US is necessarily enough to get you anywhere near an L1 visa even if you do manage to find a company that needs to transfer you, but with some years more experience and a more senior level, who knows, it might work out.

People get petitioned for all sorts of skills...I don't think listing them all would be of much practical use here. Figure out what you want to do for a living, then - assuming it is the type of work that is likely to be eligible and you have the necessary requirements in it - find an employer willing to petition for that kind of role. I can't (in good conscious) suggest something specific without knowing if that's what you would enjoy doing for a living. And I'm not going to just throw things at the wall and hope something sticks.

 

In terms of industries, IT, medical & pharmaceutical, etc. tend to be open and have had success with petitioning people. But again, it depends on what you want to do within that industry.

Thank you for the insightful input.

I wouldn't be so sure

 

(off the record, H1B skills of a number of overseas workers are on paper, many US h1B employees outsource work [to India] among other nations. Thriving under-the-table industry in southern India).

IT and medical are definitely the two booming industries, and ones that sponsor a lot of visas. But the sponsored jobs tend to be for people trained in the specialist fields of these industries - programmers, developers, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, etc - not ancillary  roles like sales, admin etc attached to them.

"Programmers" are very low level positions often filled by individuals without college degrees.  In IT, titles are significant.

When I was waiting for my PERM petition I have been checking approved PERMs just out of curiosity. There were approvals for sushi chefs, Korean bbq specialists, art gallery curators, meat plant workers, you name it.

 

IT dominates the lists obviously but in general I got an impression that EB3 visas can be obtained for about every skilled worker on Earth. The hardest requirement is to find an employer willing to invest significant money and even more significant time into your application. And there's no universal success recipe for that.

EB3 used to be mainly for those here on non immigrant visa's and Nurses from PI, well simplistic. Now the time lines are much quicker seems others are considering this, obviously not for someone who needs to move quickly.

I know people who won’t eat at a sushi restaurant if the chef is not Japanese! Understand that one
