Navigating the complex world of U.S. immigration can be challenging for Florida employers looking to hire foreign nationals. Understanding the different options and the immigration process is crucial, and having an experienced business immigration attorney by your side is essential for success.
In this article, we’ll discuss four common immigration mistakes that employers often make, and how you can avoid them with the help of an immigration attorney:
Starting the Application Process Too Late
Regardless of the type of work visa you are applying for, the process can be time-consuming. Gathering the necessary documentation and communication with the foreign national can take longer than anticipated. It’s crucial to begin the visa application process as soon as you’ve identified a suitable candidate.
Missing Filing Deadlines
Many work visas have specific deadlines and quota limits. For example, the H-1B visa, one of the most popular work visas, has an annual quota. It’s important to plan ahead and submit the work visa application well before the deadline to ensure your candidate’s eligibility.
Insufficient Supporting Documentation
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) requires detailed documentation to accompany work visa applications. This documentation includes the candidate’s qualifications, salary information, job details, and more. It’s crucial to review this documentation with your immigration attorney to ensure it meets all USCIS requirements.
Failing to Complete or Sign the Application
Even minor mistakes like forgetting to sign the application or leaving sections incomplete can result in an invalid application. This can lead to significant delays in hiring the foreign national. Your immigration lawyer can review the application thoroughly to prevent such errors.
