Build your team. Invest in what's next.

Employment-based green card sponsorship can help eligible workers become U.S. permanent residents through a qualifying job opportunity. For employers who need reliable long-term people, it is the workforce solution that outlasts any season.

Start with the positions your business needs year-round. A clear view of your future staffing needs gives you a stronger starting point for sponsorship.

másLabor handles employment-based sponsorship across all major preference categories, from executives and professionals to skilled and essential workers. Many employers pair the two: H-2A or H-2B for the immediate need, then sponsorship for the top performers they want permanently.

Common questions

EB-1 covers extraordinary ability, outstanding researchers, and multinational executives, and skips PERM entirely. EB-2 covers advanced-degree professionals. EB-3 is the most common route for skilled, professional, and other workers in hands-on operational roles. másLabor evaluates the position and recommends the category.

Employer-sponsored PERM cases generally begin with a bona fide, full-time, permanent job offer. The duties and minimum requirements define the opportunity, and the worker's background has to support them.

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons employers start. EB-3 is often the right fit for moving a proven seasonal worker to permanent status.

Schedule A covers occupations where the DOL has already determined there are not enough qualified U.S. workers, currently physical therapists and registered nurses, plus persons of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts. If your position qualifies, you skip the recruitment and labor market test, which shortens the timeline considerably.

Plan to document the job, the business, and the ability to pay the offered wage. másLabor tells you exactly what is needed and assembles it with you.

It depends on the category, and it can take years. Government processing, the preference category, priority date, and country of chargeability all affect timing, so no fixed completion date can be promised. EB-1 and Schedule A cases skip several steps and move faster. másLabor maps the timeline against your hiring need before you commit.

When eligible, the worker completes the final step through consular processing or adjustment of status, and másLabor coordinates the handoff. Starting sponsorship alone does not grant permission to live or work in the United States.
