Florida employers exploring the possibility of hiring foreign nationals have a range of work visa options to choose from, courtesy of the U.S. government. However, the work visa application process can be perplexing and daunting for most employers. That’s why it’s crucial to seek guidance from an experienced immigration attorney. Here are some common immigration mistakes employers frequently commit, which can be easily prevented with legal counsel:
Starting the Application Process Too Late: Regardless of the work visa type, the process demands more time than most employers anticipate. Once you’ve identified a candidate, initiate the visa application process without delay.
Missing Filing Deadlines: Several work visas have strict deadlines and quota limits. For instance, the H-1B visa’s popularity means its annual quota fills up quickly. Always submit work visa applications well in advance of the deadlines.
Inadequate Supporting Documentation: The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service mandates specific documentation with each work visa application. This includes qualifications, salary information, job details, and more. Your immigration attorney should review these documents to ensure they meet USCIS requirements.
Incomplete or Unsigned Applications: Small oversights, such as missing signatures or incomplete sections, can invalidate the application, leading to delays in hiring foreign nationals. It’s advisable to have your immigration lawyer review the application before submission.
