ABOUT O1 & E1 VISAS PART 3 (Your Talent Is About To Make Room For You) E1 VISA The E1 visa is an employment-based immigrant visa available to prospective foreign applicants with extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, and multinational managers or executives. It’s one of the employment-based visas that allows foreign nationals to permanently live and work in the U.S. The E1A visa particularly is highly regarded and does not require a PERM labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor unlike the E1B, E1C both of which still require employer sponsorship. What Constitutes Eligibility? To be eligible for the E1 visa, prospective applicants must meet certain criteria based on their field of expertise. There are three sub-categories within the E1 visa: E1A, E1B, and E1C. A. E1A: Extraordinary Ability o Provide evidence of sustained national or international acclaim in their field. o Achieve recognition and prominence in their field of expertise. o Provide evidence of extensive documentation highlighting their achievements B. E1B: Outstanding Professors and Researchers. o Have an offer of employment from a U.S. employer for a tenured or tenure-track position, or a comparable position at a university or institution of higher education. o Show international recognition for their outstanding achievements in a specific academic field. o Provide evidence of at least three years of experience in teaching or research. C. E1C: Multinational Managers or Executives. o Have been employed abroad for at least one year in a managerial or executive position by a qualifying organization that has a subsidiary, affiliate, or parent company in the U.S. o Seek to enter the U.S. to continue working in a managerial or executive capacity for the same company or a related one. Procedure? The application process for the E1 visa is classifiable into several steps: The first step is filing Form I-140 (“Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker”), along with supporting documents to establish the applicant is eligible for an E1 visa. Once the I-140 petition is approved, an applicant can proceed with either adjusting their status if they are already in the U.S, or they can apply using consular services at a U.S embassy or consulate in their home country. As part of the process, applicants may need to attend a biometrics appointment to provide fingerprints, photographs, and signature. They will also need to attend the immigration medical exam, and attend the visa interview If the application is approved, the applicant will receive their E1 visa, allowing them to work and live in the United States.

Understanding the differences between the H-1B and TN visas is crucial for professionals looking to work in the USA and Canada. These two visa options cater to different needs and have unique benefits, making it important to choose the right one based on your career goals and qualifications. The H-1B visa is one of the most sought-after work visas in the United States. It is available to foreign professionals in specialty occupations that require at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. The H-1B visa is employer-sponsored, meaning you must have a job offer from a U.S. employer willing to file the visa petition on your behalf. Once granted, the H-1B visa allows you to work in the U.S. for up to three years, with the possibility of extending it to six years. One of the significant advantages of the H-1B visa is that it can be a stepping stone to permanent residency (a Green Card), making it an ideal option for those looking to establish a long-term career in the United States. On the other hand, the TN visa is specific to citizens of Canada and Mexico under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), formerly known as NAFTA. The TN visa is designed for professionals in specific occupations, such as engineers, scientists, and accountants, among others. Unlike the H-1B, the TN visa does not have a cap on the number of visas issued each year, making it more accessible. Additionally, the TN visa can be renewed indefinitely in three-year increments, as long as the visa holder maintains their employment. However, the TN visa is considered a non-immigrant visa, meaning it is not intended for those seeking permanent residency in the U.S. Choosing between the H-1B and TN visas depends on your nationality, career field, and long-term plans. At Jobslink Inc., we help you navigate these options, ensuring you choose the visa that best aligns with your professional aspirations. #jobslinkinc

Employee: I would like my visa to be sponsored. I've been a top performer for years. UK Employer: We’d love to sponsor your visa but we don’t have the license to sponsor. Employee: I can pay for the costs of getting the sponsorship license and have even spoken to an immigration consultant who can do ALL the work so you have to do nothing. UK Employer: Yeah makes sense but according to our company policy we don’t sponsor visas for your role. _____________________________________________________________ I've heard 100s of stories like these, where international students who spend 1-2 years in a UK company get refused sponsorship a few months before their graduate visa expires. UK employers keep losing their BEST talent because they don't want to take the risk of getting the sponsorship license….. … And they then end up hiring external talent at a MUCH higher price. As a business owner, this NEVER makes sense to me. Replacing a great employee who needs a visa will cost you MUCH more than keeping them. Costs of keeping the current employee = £5-7k (includes getting the sponsorship license + 3-year skilled worker visa). Costs of getting a new employee in = £20-30k (includes training, higher salary and possibly recruitment fee). Getting a new employee costs 5 times more. This is not even counting the productivity increase that comes from sponsoring an international student’s visa…. I can guarantee you they’ll start working TWICE as hard as they’ll be super grateful. ♻️ Re-post to encourage UK employers to sponsor our visas and follow Farhoon Asim for more posts like this.
