    Default Hiring Immigrants

    How do you go about hiring someone from overseas? I assume we would have to get them a work visa. How long does this normally take and what is the average cost? Can you give me some advice?

    Default Getting an employment visa

    You would normally be looking at the H1-B visa. You can call some area law firms to see first if the type of work you are offering would qualify for H1-B status, and second what they would charge to process the paperwork for you. (You actually don't have to stick with the area, as many immigration firms operate nationally; shop around for the best price.)

    Default Work visas - H-2B

    There are other types of work visas. For example, H-2B - for temporary and seasonal workers. But you would have to check its availability due to the cap.

    Best regards,
