Procedures for applying for a work permit

First, the application for a work permit must be submitted by the employer. In other words, if you immigrate to the United States through a work permit, the applicant must first find an employer who is willing to apply for a work permit. At the same time, because the employer must prove to the Ministry of Labor that the employer really needs to recruit people, that is, there are clear job opportunities, the applicant cannot set up a company to recruit people by himself. Generally speaking, if the applicant's family holds more shares in the company, or if the company owner is a relative of the applicant, it will not be approved.

Employers should fill in the ETA-750 form.

When applying for a work permit, the employer should fill in the ETA-750 form. In duplicate, send it to SESA in the employer's state. SESA will stamp the receipt date on the application form after receiving it, which is the scheduled date for applying for immigration in the future. At the same time, SESA will also inform the employer that the application has been received and it will take time. In California, it takes about 26 weeks from the time SESA receives the application form to the time it is processed.

Due to the large number of applicants and increasingly strict legal provisions, employers should make full preparations before applying. At least the following points should be considered:

(1) Is the wage paid by the employer lower than that before valling? If it is lower than the ordinary wage stipulated by law, can the employer produce enough documents to prove that the wage demanded by the Ministry of Labor is too high?

(2) Employers cannot make additional requests to prevent American citizens or permanent residents from applying.

(3) Employers should know something about the current labor market in order to determine whether the wages offered will attract too many American citizens or permanent residents to apply.

(4) If it meets the requirements, the employer may advertise for recruitment in advance. Relevant regulations on early recruitment.
