-
Mar - Apr
We’ll spend the next couple months recruiting you, and helping you fill out a visa application! H1B visa applications are submitted to the visa lottery in bulk by April 1st.
-
May - Oct
If your application is chosen in the lottery — usually a couple weeks after the April 1st deadline — we’ll spend the next 6-7 months helping you through the approval process, and preparing you to travel to the US on or after the October 1st welcome day.
H1B visas are only valid for six years. As your employer, we will help you file for green card processing once the 6 years has passed. We often have have consultants actively employed with us for that long.
TN
The visa The Non-immigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa allows citizens of Mexico and Canada to work in the USA for U.S or foreign employers if they have an active job offer. This visa is not available for permanent residents of Canada or Mexico.
The process Applicants must have the equivalent of a 4-year bachelor’s degree from a US university. (In general, 3 years of professional experience is equivalent to one year of a US degree program.) These visas are doled out on a rolling basis throughout the year, so the application/acceptance process is relatively quick.
Collabera provides your job offer; you’re an employee of Collabera even if you’re consulting with one of our many clients. Our dedicated in-house team takes care of the application process for you and provides sustained support throughout your employment.
E3
The visa The E3 visa classification allows citizens of Australia to work in the US in specialized employment positions. This visa allows the principal applicant to bring their spouse and children (who are not required to be Australian citizens.)
