📌 How U.S. Visa Sponsorship Works – H1B, H2B, H2A, EB3 Explained
The U.S. has multiple employer‑sponsored pathways. Here is the real process for the most common visas:
- Employer obtains Labor Certification (PERM for green card or LCA for H1B/H2B) – The employer must prove no qualified U.S. worker is available (for some visas).
- Job offer & visa petition (Form I‑129) – The employer files a petition with USCIS on your behalf.
- Visa application & interview (U.S. embassy/consulate) – After approval, you apply for the visa stamp in your home country.
- Arrival & compliance – You enter the U.S. and maintain your visa status (e.g., H1B allows dual intent).
- Path to green card (EB2/EB3) – Some visas lead to permanent residency.
✅ Every IFMOSA USA job listing includes direct links to USCIS and DOL portals so you can verify requirements and employer sponsorship status.

H1B: 3–6 months (premium processing 15 days). H2B/H2A: 2–4 months. EB3 green card: 1–3 years (priority date dependent).
IFMOSA is a verified job board. We never charge placement fees. You apply directly to employers. Go membership provides premium tools, but the application remains between you and the sponsor.
Requests for upfront visa fees, “guaranteed H1B” promises without employer petition, and fake USCIS documents. Always verify employer on the DOL website.
⚠️ Common U.S. Job Scams – How to Spot Fake Sponsorship
- Upfront payment for “visa processing”: Legitimate U.S. employers pay filing fees, not the employee.
- “Guaranteed H1B” without lottery: H1B is a lottery system – no one can guarantee selection.
- Fake USCIS receipt numbers: Always check cases on the official USCIS website.
✅ IFMOSA’s commitment: We only publish jobs that come from licensed employers. Each listing includes official USCIS/DOL links so you can verify independently.
