Say, you're recruiting a person from India and wanted him to join your company in US.



In such case:



  • What does it take to get this authorization?

  • How long might it take?

  • Is there additional cost to the employer?

    There are so many variables that it isn't funny. It depends heavily on the specific country, and yes, there will be anywhere from 5 to 10k cost to the employer

    @DavidK Not Travel. Travel is for short-term things like vacations. Expatriates might take it, but they are more from the side of the person moving.

    I lean toward keeping it open. The sordid state of affairs around the US H1B program is widely known. If someone else asks a question about getting a job in Benin while living in Paraguay we can decide if that's too obscure separately.

  1. Typically you need to sponsor an H1B visa application. See http://www.workpermit.com/us/investor_h-1b.htm

  2. It can take years. H1B are issued once a year and there is a lottery. The lottery makes it unpredictable.

  3. Typically in involves an immigration layer to file the application. Many thousands of dollars

  • Is H1B the only visa-type? I have heard of cases when people get the visa in days.
