Yes. It’s very unique for everyone, can take a long time. Best to use outside counsel or a technology tool to help manage. Many steps in the process.

Thank you for feedback

It can be up to a 3 year process depending on where they are at in the process. Def seek counsel from someone that knows and can help. VISA app costs range around 3k and attorney costs will be about 5k depending on area jusy for some guidance. We have split the cost with employees, and also covered the cost based on the market demand.

Yes to all of this. But that is the H1B app process. OP is looking at H1B to perm/Green card, I believe: which can be some time longer. Although I believe you might be able to apply for both simultaneously. Either way: OP- it’s worth exploring for the right candidates. And your counsel/vendor should streamline it. Doesn’t make it go faster. Just manageable.

Hi, OP! Like VP1 said, the experience will be different for everyone. The process will be much faster and smoother if you have outside counsel.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
