Sponsorship for aliens- are there any companies in st. petersburg,fl that sponsors german nationals?
Only an immediate blood relative (parent, sibling, adult child) can sponsor an immigrant. If she has at least a baccalaureate degree and two years' post-baccalaureate experience in her field, she could apply for jobs. If an employer wants to hire her, and is willing and able to obtain labor certification (proof there are no Americans qualified and available for the job), then apply for an employment visa, she could come on a temporary employment visa. An H1-b visa (the most popular program) can be good for up to 3 years, and can be extended once for up to 3 more years.





If the employer wants to keep her beyond that, the employer can then sponsor her green card. The sponsor has to guarantee employment or support for 10 years to apply for the green card. Few (and ever fewer) employers are willing and able to do that.





Considering that unemployment is now rising at the fastest rate since the Depression, this is not a good time to look for a job in the US. It is becoming very difficult for employers to prove there are no Americans qualified and available for the job when there are millions out of work and looking for jobs.





Also, the 2009 employment visas have already been issued, and the applications are being submitted for 2010 starting next week. The earliest she could be considered for now is Fiscal Year 2011.





It is irrelevant what country she comes from -- they are all treated the same. The plain truth is the job market is terrible, and many companies are not renewing employment visas or are laying off their foreign employees mid-term in their visa. In either case, the employee must return to their own country immediately at their own expense. Visas are automatically cancelled when an employee is terminated/fired/laid off.
Reply:don't know... how about a working visa instead of a green card, same thing, but she gets to work instead.
