Requirements for Employment Sponsorship
Answering "Will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B visa status)?" If you’ll require the company to commence ("sponsor") an immigration or work permit case in order to employ you, either now or at some point in the future, then you should select Yes.
Minimum Income for Immigrant Sponsorship
For example, in 2021, a sponsor in the U.S. mainland would need to have income (or assets) of at least $33,125 to cover a petitioner who lives alone and is sponsoring one immigrant and two children (that is, a total of four people).
Sponsorship and Employment Authorization
It simply means that – ‘are you a US citizen or a Green Card holder?’ A US citizen or a Green Card holder does not require sponsorship from any employer and they do not require a permission from the department of labor to start work in a company.
To prove employment authorization, USCIS will accept:
- a U.S. birth or birth abroad certificate
- a U.S. citizen ID card
- a resident citizen ID card
- unexpired employment authorization documents issued by the Department of Homeland Security.
