Employer Sponsorship
Sponsor the Talent Your Company Can't Operate Without.
H-1B visas and PERM labor certification for employers — a predictable, well-managed process for sponsoring the people you need.
At a glance
- You are an employer who needs to hire or retain a foreign professional in a specialty role.
- You want to enter the H-1B lottery and need the registration and petition handled correctly.
- First step — Strategy Session: We review the role, the candidate, and your timeline, then map the right sequence — H-1B, PERM, or both — and flag wage and classification issues before they become problems.
- Nationwide — all 50 states.
When your company depends on a person you can't easily replace, sponsorship is how you keep them. The H-1B visa brings specialty-occupation talent onto your team; PERM labor certification is the first step toward sponsoring them for a green card. Both are demanding processes with hard deadlines and exact requirements.
For an employer, the risk isn't only a denial — it's a stalled hire, a missed lottery, a wage determination that doesn't pencil out, or an audit that surfaces months later. The companies that sponsor well are the ones that run the process deliberately, with counsel who anticipates each step.
We manage these cases as an operational process, not a one-off filing. We keep your HR team and your candidate aligned, the timelines visible, and the documentation audit-ready, so sponsorship strengthens your team instead of straining it.

How we work
A deliberate path, start to finish.
Strategy Session
We review the role, the candidate, and your timeline, then map the right sequence — H-1B, PERM, or both — and flag wage and classification issues before they become problems.
Case Architecture
We prepare the labor condition or prevailing wage steps, the petition, and the supporting record so each requirement is documented and defensible.
Filing and Compliance
We handle registration, filing, and any request for evidence or audit, and keep your team's public access file and records compliant throughout.
Approval and Beyond
We carry the case to approval and plan the next stage — extensions, transfers, or the green card steps that follow PERM — so your sponsorship investment holds.
Extraordinary talent deserves an extraordinary strategy.
Questions
What people ask us first.
How does the H-1B lottery work?
Because demand far exceeds the annual cap, USCIS runs an electronic registration and selects petitions through a random lottery before full petitions are filed. Registering correctly and on time is essential, and selection isn't guaranteed in any given year. Planning for alternatives matters when a key hire is at stake. Every case turns on its facts — a strategy session settles yours.
What is PERM and why does it come first?
PERM labor certification is the Department of Labor process where an employer tests the U.S. labor market and certifies that hiring a foreign worker won't displace qualified U.S. workers. For most employment-based green cards in the EB-2 and EB-3 categories, PERM is the required first step before the green card petition. Every case turns on its facts — a strategy session settles yours.
What does sponsorship actually require from us as the employer?
The employer carries real obligations — paying the required wage, maintaining a public access file, and meeting recruitment and notice requirements depending on the case. These are manageable with the right process, but they aren't optional, and gaps surface in audits. We build the workflow so compliance is routine rather than a scramble. Every case turns on its facts — a strategy session settles yours.
Can we sponsor an employee for a green card while they're on an H-1B?
Yes — this is the common path. An employee often works on an H-1B while the employer pursues PERM and the green card petition, and the H-1B can frequently be extended past its usual limit once the green card process is far enough along. Sequencing the steps early protects against gaps. Every case turns on its facts — a strategy session settles yours.
