"We are unable to sponsor for an employment Visa" This is what I hear from 90% of my job applications in Switzerland. Let's talk about "sponsorship for employment Visa". Switzerland requires "work permit" visa for non-Swiss people. This work permit is especially difficult to obtain if the candidate is coming from outside EU/EFTA countries. Since 2011, some restrictions were lifted for people who hold a Diploma from a Swiss higher education institution, such as UZH/ETH. According to this new legal rule, if a candidate holds a Swiss Diploma, the company DOES NOT require to demonstrate the efforts to recruit a Swiss or EU candidate. There is a very high chance of a work permit being approved for such cases. Here is the Law (Article 21. Sentence 3), : https://lnkd.in/g3YbHdRM Unfortunately many people who work in #Human #Resources DO NOT know this legal rule passed in 2011. As long as HR departments are unaware of this law, it is a useless law. So what does it mean to "sponsor for work permit"? What does it entail? Answer: The employer must fill a simple online form. And pay 400 Swiss Francs. Here is the page that gives detailed information: https://lnkd.in/ghTCqSqf I understand if your company is struggling with money or running out of money. I understand if your Human Resources department is overrun with tasks and can't find time for anything extra. I hereby declare: I am able to sponsor myself for an employment Visa. I hold a Bachelor's Diploma from University of Zurich. I will gift you 400 Francs. I will prepare and organize all the documents you need to submit. In fact, if you give me the permission, I will fill & submit the online form myself, on behalf of your company. Please stop pretending that visa sponsorship is difficult or unattainable. If your candidate is already living in Switzerland, and on top of that, if your candidate holds higher education Diploma from a Swiss institution, then there is HIGH chance that the work permit would get approved. Especially in my field of Computer Science. What do you think?

Attorney Sarah Wyngaard In this video, we delve deep into the H-2B visa program, specifically focusing on how to establish the temporary need required to qualify for this visa type. The H-2B visa is crucial for employers seeking to bring non-agricultural temporary workers to the U.S. for various employment needs. Understanding the different categories of temporary need is essential, as it determines whether your application will be successful. We start by explaining the concept of a "one-time occurrence," a situation where you've never employed workers for a specific job before and will not need them in the future. We explore examples like hiring a nanny during a spouse's academic fellowship, showcasing how to demonstrate that this need will end definitively after the fellowship. Next, we cover the "seasonal need" category, which applies when jobs are tied to specific seasons or times of the year, such as landscaping in the summer or snow removal in winter. It's important to remember that this need must be predictable and recurring annually without being subject to unpredictable changes. We also discuss the "peakload need," which occurs when your business requires additional temporary workers during peak periods, even though you have permanent staff. These temporary roles help manage short-term demands without becoming a regular part of your staff. Lastly, the "intermittent need" is for employers who require temporary workers occasionally for short periods when there are no permanent or full-time workers doing the same job, such as producing limited edition items for special events. - 📆 One-Time Occurrence: Ideal for jobs that are truly one-off events. - ☀️ Seasonal Need: Must be predictable and tied to a specific season. - 📈 Peakload Need: For extra help during busy seasons, up to 10 months. - 🔁 Intermittent Need: For occasional needs without permanent staffing.

H1B WORK VISA: FINDING THE RIGHT EMPLOYEE FOR THE JOB Finding the right candidate for a position at your Florida organization can become complicated when you require the advanced skills of a highly-educated, experienced employee. If you have exhausted your local talent pool, you may have another option. According to the USCIS, if you require specialized skills and cannot find them among the domestic workforce, you may hire a non-citizen through an H1B visa. What is an H1B visa? The purpose of this visa revolves around allowing the hire of foreign employees by United States organizations that require particular knowledge in a specialty occupation. Once your company receives approval for the visa, the employee may work for three years before it comes up for renewal. If you wish the employee to stay at the end of six years, they must secure a green card. Who can you sponsor? Since the H1B visa is a work visa, it requires sponsorship by an employer. You must show that the employee you sponsor adds considerable value to the company. The individual must also have specific qualifications, depending on the type of position, such as a bachelor’s degree or higher and specialized training. Before searching for a candidate, you must complete and submit paperwork and obtain approval for the visa. The U.S. accepts a limited number of H1B visas and conducts a lottery if the number of petitions exceeds the cap. If selected for the lottery, the government will process your petition, and if not, it sends back the application and fees to you. Determining your needs, posting the position and finding a temporary international employee is often a complex process. Understanding your options and the best way to move forward is critical for finding the individual who best meets your needs.

If the application form asks: ‘Do you need visa sponsorship in the UK now or in the future?’ or similar, what should you respond? My Instagram followers have divided opinions on how to respond to visa questions when applying for a job in the UK as someone on a Student or Graduate Visa. 65% said that you should reply: YES. Even if you are on a Graduate Visa, it has an expiration date, and you will need a sponsorship for the visa in the future. 35% said that you should say: NO. Many companies will reject you automatically, and you will not even have a chance to interview and negotiate your visa. What is my opinion? I think you should answer YES. Here are my reasons: 1️⃣ I am honest, hate providing false information, and always try to act with integrity. So, I teach my community to do the same.  2️⃣ You risk wasting the hiring team’s time by providing wrong information, as these questions can be screened again during the first interview stage. 3️⃣ You risk wasting your time by going through a recruitment process that will not hire you since the firm can’t hire anyone on a visa. 4️⃣ Recruiters are not blind; they can still figure out your visa status (based on where you studied, address history, your experience, and your BRP card that you often need to provide during the interview process) BUT! I understand that automatic rejections are painful, and I suggest a few ways to improve your chances of an interview. ⭐️Answer the visa questions carefully, where possible, clarifying that you have a Graduate Visa (do NOT call it PSW; that is the wrong name) ⭐️State that you have the right to work in the UK, even if it is for a limited time (Student Visa usually also allows you to work) ⭐️Explain where possible that Graduate Visa allows you to work without any restrictions and provide an expiration date/duration of this visa. ⭐️Try to network to get an interview directly without the screening process, hence having the opportunity to negotiate and explain your visa options ⭐️Reach out to the HR Team directly after you apply to highlight your interest and suitability, so you are more likely to be considered despite having a visa ⭐️Aim for companies and roles that are more likely to consider sponsorship ⭐️Be a strong candidate, on paper and during the interview process I advise my clients to start each professional relationship honestly and not to provide false information on their application forms. I know it is hard, but there are better ways of landing an interview. If you provide the wrong information, be prepared for the risks. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Over the past year, I've noticed a troubling trend, when international students mention they’re on OPT(Optional Practical Training), many employers seem to reject their applications or don't move past the screening call. While I appreciate the transparency, it’s important to highlight that not all employers know that hiring an OPT candidate allows them to work for up to three years without immediate sponsorship. 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬: We understand that hiring international candidates can come with complexities, especially regarding visa sponsorship. However, consider the unique skills and perspectives that OPT candidates offer. They have invested years in education and are eager to contribute to your organization. If you cannot provide sponsorship right away, that’s okay! Hiring during their OPT period allows you to evaluate their fit without the immediate need for H-1B support. Here is a helpful article by University of Chicago that explains the work authorization in detail https://lnkd.in/gu4mBe6r 𝐓𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬: Your value goes beyond your visa status. Focus on showcasing your skills and experiences. While the sponsorship hurdle can be daunting, many companies appreciate and support international talent. Explore industries known for hiring OPT candidates and network actively within your field. If you want to look at companies that sponsor visas, check out www.myvisajobs.com www.h1bgrader.com https://lnkd.in/gdZAaQSP It’s about bridging the gap between employers and candidates. By fostering understanding, we can create a job market where every candidate’s potential is recognized, regardless of visa status. What do you think?

On Friday, June 14, I will be doing a video presentation to a group connected to the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS). If you know anyone who is a member of that group, and they are interested in US immigration law topics, tell them to join us! Details for the presentation are in the first comment. The price is right! ### If you think of people who come to the US to study to be pharma scientists, they will often come on F-1 or J-1 visa status. If they decide to stay in the US, they would generally want green cards but because of how slow the green card process is, they will often need to go to a temporary work visa status (employer-sponsored temporary work visa), most commonly H-1B or O-1 unless they are from one of the *special countries* - Canada, Mexico, Australia, Chile, Singapore (TN, TN, E3, H1B1, H1B1). And from a temporary work visa, the green card pathways can be divided into self-petition options (EB-1A and EB-2 NIW) or employer-sponsored options (EB-1B and PERM-based EB-2). -- Some people, depending on where they were born and their qualifications, might be able to go straight from F-1 to J-1 to a green card and skip H-1B or O-1. -- Some people might want to 'hide' in academia with a cap-exempt/lottery-exempt H-1B while waiting for a green card or building a profile for a private sector O-1. Hopefully I can share some useful nuggets in an hour. The system is clear as mud but there are some frameworks that can be useful to understand where you stand. But anyway, let's face it: I am just doing this presentation to pad my resume for my EB-1A case. I figure this and judging some Globee Awards and I'm a shoe-in! ###

Navigating the U.S. Tech Visa Landscape in 2024: A Candid Chat for International Talent 🌍🤝 Hey there, fellow tech enthusiasts! 👋 I get asked about U.S. tech job sponsorship opportunities daily, and here's the honest truth: it's a challenging landscape right now. 😔 The current U.S. job market has a wealth of qualified domestic talent, and this is a major factor impacting companies' willingness to sponsor visas. I haven't personally seen a role open to sponsorship in quite some time. Here's a breakdown of the current situation: Domestic Talent Pool: With a higher number of skilled U.S. tech professionals available, many companies are prioritizing domestic hires. H-1B Visa Tightening: This year saw a decrease in approved H-1B visas, making the competition for those spots even more intense. Election Year Jitters: The upcoming elections could bring changes to immigration policies, making companies hesitant to invest in sponsorship due to the uncertainty. The Time Crunch: Visa processing times are longer than ever, and companies often need to fill roles quickly. But don't lose hope! ✨ There are still paths to your dream U.S. tech career: Become the Unicorn: Focus on developing niche expertise that sets you apart and makes you an irresistible asset to potential employers. 🦄 Network Strategically: Connect with industry insiders and fellow international professionals. They can offer invaluable advice, support, and even job leads. 🤝 Think Beyond the H-1B: Explore alternative visa options like the O-1 (for extraordinary abilities) or TN (for Canadian and Mexican professionals). There may be more flexibility there. 💡 Remember, the U.S. tech scene values diverse perspectives and global talent. Your passion and skills are incredibly valuable! 💪 By staying adaptable, informed, and proactive, you can absolutely find your place in this exciting industry. 🚀 I'm cheering you on! 😊 #techvisas #immigration #careeradvice #jobsearch #h1bvisa #uselection2024 #rebeccatherecruiter

I just had a very interesting chat with one of our clients around Visa's..... And I'm SOO GLAD to hear someone say it to me for a change 😅 I may be biased But coming here from Ireland myself, my heart goes out to people that move so far away from everything they love for a better life. It comes at a cost In brief, the the client said 💥💥💥 "We are going to really explore providing sponsorship to candidates already residing in Australia, that are on a visa. We feel we are missing out on a huge chunk of the market - especially in VIC and NSW - the candidates that have great work ethic, and want to work hard to develop their skills to succeed. That's just the market now, and we'd like to improve with it" HALLELUJAH 🕺 Now, of course taking into account that it can be very expensive, and there is genuine local talent to prioritise. It's not doable for many companies. Also, the Australian Government have laws in place to protect their work force prioritising them first - as they should! But thought I would share as insight to anyone wondering should they do the same 🤝 Look at it like this: 🌍 These candidates are driven and eager to show what they’ve got. They’re not just looking for any job - they’re grateful for opportunity, and ready to make a real difference. 🌍 Having studied and worked overseas, they will bring unique viewpoints and ideas that can shake things up in the best way possible. 🌍 They’ve chosen Australia for its renowned quality of life, and that enthusiasm often translates into high energy and commitment at work. They are on a mission to prove themselves and succeed. Let's face it, we all love how laid back Australia can be.... but not everywhere is of this same mentality. In conclusion, we agreed that implementing budgets for sponsorship will attract workers & not just employee's. DISCLAIMER!!! I do not have a role offering sponsorship right now, before everyone starts to send CVs 😂
