The E-3 visa classification currently applies only to nationals of Australia

As well as their spouses and children. A non Australian Souse of an Australian E-3 visa holder is qualified for the E-3 visa as a dependant of his/her husband or wife. The E-3 principal nonimmigrant aliens must be coming to the United States solely to perform services in a specialty occupation. The E-3 visa is similar to the H-1B visa, although unlike the H1b, The E-3 worker need not file a petition with the USCIS. Consulate filing is acceptable. The E-3 visa classification is numerically limited, with a maximum of 10,500 visas available annually. Spouses and children do not count against the numerical limitation nor are they required to possess the nationality of the principal. A Labor Condition Application (LCA), containing attestations by the sponsoring employer related to wages and working conditions must be filed with and approved by the Department of Labor (DOL). The definition of a “specialty occupation” under the E-3 visa is similar to the definition of a “specialty occupation” under the H-1B visa. In general, a specialty occupation is one that requires theoretical and practical application of a body of knowledge in professional fields and at least the attainment of a bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, as a minimum for entry into the occupation in the United States. The recent State Department’s regulations governing E-3 visas incorporate the definitions contained in section 214(i)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). In order to determine what constitutes a “specialty occupation,” consular officers abroad will be guided by, and will apply, regulatory criteria already developed by the Department of Homeland Security for the H-1B classification. Status of Spouse and Minor Children Section 214(e)(6) of the Immigration and Nationality Act permits the spouse of a principal E nonimmigrant to engage in employment in the United States. As is the case for the spouse of a principal E-1 and E-2 nonimmigrant, the spouse of a qualified E-3 nonimmigrant may, upon admission to the United States, apply for an employment authorization document, which an employer could use to verify the spouse’s employment eligibility. Such spousal employment may be in a position other than a specialty occupation. E-3 validity E-3 I-94 time limits are the same as E-1 and E-2 visas (as opposed to H-1Bs). As with other E visas the E-3 visa can be extended indefinitely as long as the worker continues employment in the proffered position as the required wages. Four major advantages of the E-3 over the similar H1b: 1. Not subject to the H1b quota 2. Can extend your stay indefinitely (apposed to 6 year limit for the H) 3. Spouse can work with an approved work permit (H spouse does not qualify for work permit) 4. May apply directly at either the US Consulate in Australia or in Some cases Canada (no need for prior approval form USCIS as is required with the H)

The E treaty visa category

This category is limited to nationals of certain countries that have a treaty with the U.S. for trade and commerce.  An E-1 visa is available to a foreign national who wishes to come to the US to carry on substantial trade, principally between the US and his/her own country.  An E-2 visa is available to a foreign national who is coming to the United States to develop and direct the operations of an enterprise in which he/she has invested, or is actively in the process of investing, a substantial amount of capital.

This is suitable for hard to find skills, it has been used for professionals and skilled trades such as welders and fitters.

E-1 AND E-2 VISAS

Treaties between United States and many countries allow foreign persons to come to the United States to conduct trade (import/export activities) or to manage investments. Unlike the Immigrant Investor visa there is no fixed dollar amount for the investment. The E-1 visa is used to conduct trade between the United States and the country of nationality. The E-2 visa is used for overseeing investments in the U.S.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR AN E VISA

1. A Treaty of Commerce and Navigation or a Bilateral Investment treaty must be in effect between the U.S. and the country of nationality of the foreign company or investor.
2. The company or the individual engaging in trade or investment in the U.S. must be of the same nationality as the treaty country.
   1. The nationality of an individual is the country of citizenship.
   2. The nationality of a corporation or partnership is determined by the citizenship of the individuals having controlling interest (stock ownership or partnership interest in the business entity). Controlling interest means at least 50% ownership. For treaty purposes, citizens of the treaty country who have acquired U.S. permanent residence status can not be counted in determining the 50% ownership. However, citizens of the treaty country who are in the U.S. in E visa status can be counted in determining the 50% ownership.
3. The employee or principal who is applying for E visa status must have the same nationality as the treaty entity. Spouses and children of the employee or principal may obtain derivative E status without being a citizen of the treaty country.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR E-1, TREATY TRADER VISA

1. Substantial Trade

The company must be involved in substantial trade principally between the U.S. and the treaty country.

The definition of trade, for purposes of the E-1 visa, has broadened considerably. Previously, the E-1 visa was only available to businesses involved in the exchange, purchase or sale of tangible goods. Now, E-1 visa status is also available for businesses involved in the exchange, purchase, or sale of services as well as tangible goods.

Accordingly, businesses involved in services such as advertising, consulting, accounting, engineering or law may qualify for E-1 status. Also, companies involved in technology transfers may qualify for E-1 status if title to the technology passes from one company to another.

No specific minimum dollar amount is required to meet the requirement of substantial trade. Instead the dollar amount and the number of transactions are taken into account as well as the requirement that the trade be continuous. A single large transaction will not qualify while numerous small transactions may.

For the trade to be considered principally between the U.S. and the treaty country more than 50% of the dollar volume of the international trade must be between the U.S. and the treaty country.

1. Principal Trader

The person who is accorded E-1 visa status must be coming to the U.S. as the principal trader or in a supervisory or executive position or must have “skills which are essential to the successful operation of the enterprise”.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR E-2, TREATY INVESTOR STATUS

1. Substantial Investment

There is no specific dollar amount which must be invested to meet the “substantial” requirement but the investment must meet one of two tests:

1. 1. It must represent a significant proportion of the total value of the business enterprise (this test is usually applied to investments in existing businesses), or
   2. It must be sufficient to establish a profitable and viable business of the type contemplated.
2. The investment must be in an active business.

Investment in property held for future appreciation, bank deposits and investments in stocks and securities would not qualify for the E-2 visa. The investment must be in an enterprise which produces some service or commodity.

1. The investment should create job opportunities for U.S. workers.

While it is preferable to have the U.S. workers hired at the time of application for the E-2 visa, reasonably achievable projections of jobs that will be created is often sufficent.

1. The E-2 visa applicant must play a key role in the operation of the business.

The visa applicant must either be the investor who is coming to the U.S. to develop or direct the investment or must be a manager or a highly trained employee with special skills necessary for the development of the investment.

STATUS OF FAMILY MEMBERS

Family members (spouses and unmarried children under 21) of the principal E visa employee may obtain derivative E visa status which allows them to live in the U.S. and attend school. Family members are not authorized to work unless they independently qualify for a visa.

DURATION OF STAY IN THE U.S.

E visas are generally issued for four or five years. E visa holders are admitted to the U.S. for two years and extensions of stay may be granted for up to two years at a time. Extensions are generally unlimited as long as the trade or investment continues. An E visa may often be reissued for an additional five years by the State Department Visa Office in Washington D.C. In this event it is not necessary to return to the home country to renew the visa.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

The E visa application can be made through a U.S. consulate abroad or through a U.S. office of the Immigration & Naturalization Service. However, the reader is strongly advised to obtain the advice of a U.S. attorney prior to beginning the trading activities making the investment or applying for the visa.

Companies across the country are assessing their ability to remain competitive in an extraordinarily challenging business environment. One factor that makes this period of corporate realignment significantly different from the adjustments that took place in previous recessions is the increasing prevalence of HR Outsourcing as part of the agenda.

Previous attempts to cut costs across an organization were frequently driven by the Human Resources or Personnel Department. What makes things different this time is that cuts need to be deeper to survive the economic downturn, but cutting too deeply into the revenue generating workforce -the assembly, production, shipping and sales departments- would cripple the company. No product or no way of selling it makes little sense. In looking at their structure, many companies have come to the realization that HR itself actually constitutes a large part of their payroll and would make an ideal target for cost reduction through employee leasing. Professional Employer Organizations (or PEO) have proven to be a viable alternative when HR Outsourcing makes sense. In fact, many firms have thrived under this arrangement, finding that without having to deal with human resources functions internally, management is free to focus on core competencies.

Consider the wide range of functions that typical companies lump under the human resources banner. At the very least there is employee recruitment, benefits, payroll, legislative compliance, employer related taxes, safety and discipline. Ideally, employee retention, training and productivity measures in the mix as well. A professional and experienced PEO firm such as hroplus.com can step in and take over all of these functions, providing cost savings, and expert knowledge of each of these requirements, no matter how big the company. HR Outsourcing can not only have a significant impact on the bottom line, but its not uncommon for a company to improve its overall operational effectiveness as a result. By assuming many of the risks and responsibilities that the company had carried as an employer and taking over most of the administrative and bureaucratic workload using proven methodology and experienced consultants, Employee Leasing can reduce costs for each worker at the company by hundreds of dollars.

Because of the smooth transition to an Employee Leasing arrangement, ongoing payroll savings and the ability for senior management to concentrate on business (leaving payroll, employee retention, recruitment, workman’s compensation and labor legislation compliance and other issues to the HR Outsourcing professionals), I predict that many companies will choose to continue operating without an in house Human Resources Department long after the country is back in positive economic territory.

Advancing in Your Nursing Career

If you want to pursue a career as a nurse, perhaps the first position you think of it as a registered nurse. However, jobs in nursing are much more far-reaching than just that of a registered nurse. Let’s take a look at several sectors of nursing employment.

Registered nurse

Again, this is probably the first job people think of when they think of the word “nurse.” And indeed, this is the largest sector of nursing — perhaps even the largest in healthcare itself — by far.

Registered nurses work closely with patients to educate, treat, and perform diagnostic tests. They perform in a variety of settings and can assume just about every specialization.

If you want to become a R.N., you will be required to graduate from an approved nursing program and pass the national licensing exam, the NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination).

Licensed practical nurse

A licensed practical nurse, or LPN, works under the supervision of registered nurses or doctors. These nurses have the job of doing basic patient care and monitoring patient characteristics and vital signs like temperature, weight, blood pressure, and so on. Licensed practical nurses must also pass the NCLEX for practical nurses (National Council Licensure Examination-Practical Nurse).

Nurse practitioners

Nurse practitioners have gotten their R.N. degrees and have also completed additional advanced degree program work, such as getting a masters degree. Many nurse practitioners do jobs of doctors in nonemergency situations. Because of their advanced training and degrees, nurse practitioners are generally paid much better than registered nurses or licensed practical nurses.

Nurse anesthetists

Nurse anesthetists receive significantly more training than other nurse jobs do. To become a certified nurse anesthetist, you must complete a four-year program in nursing or science, must become a licensed registered nurse, and must also gain hands-on experience in environments required by the program you’re in, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, or both organizations.

It costs quite a lot to become a nurse anesthetist as compared to other nursing employment, but nursing scholarships can help offset the costs. In addition, nurse anesthetists must carry malpractice insurance, just as doctors must.

Which is the best nursing career for you?

If you want to become a nurse because you want to directly take care of patients, be advised that the higher you go in the career hierarchy, the less in general you’ll be interacting with patients directly. However, again, these more advanced nursing jobs also pay better and in general are less physically taxing than either licensed practical nurse or registered nurse careers are, so the choice is up to you.

If you’re still unsure which sector of nursing you should get into, remember that you don’t have to decide immediately. For example, if you start as a registered nurse, that will be a prerequisite for many other nursing careers you may decide you want to pursue. For example, you’ll need to be a registered nurse already, with additional education besides, in order to become a nurse practitioner. So you can start with a basic nursing degree and move up as you go, as you want to take on more responsibility and specialize more in your career.

“We have developed Osrec into a unique service provider in a niche market that is growing, through time we have become a better organized team, forward thinking in our approach and entirely customer focused.
The unique Osrec service includes the “managed migration recruitment plan” system, which is devised only after we have had the chance to talk to the client properly and inform them of the choices that they have.  There is often a misconception that immigration is a maze that is difficult to get through, but with our “Easy Visa” formula and the initial telephone conversation that we have with every client, takes all the doubts away. And if the client is happy we will do all the work for them.

Finding jobs for college grads can be more difficult today than ever before.  There are many recent college graduates who are complaining that they are unable to find a job in their field.  There are several ways for recent college graduates, as well as those who are on the verge of graduation, to find a job in their field of choice.  A career fair that is designed just for college grads is one way that a college graduate can see what is out there when it comes to jobs that are available for their education as well as experience level. 

Going to a career fair that is designed especially for college students as well as college graduates can give college grads a chance to see what type of jobs for college grads are out there.  In many cases, the jobs for college grads will consist of internships.  These are jobs that do not pay, or pay very minimal, but allow the graduate to gain experience in their field.  It is very important that college graduates not only have an education to back them up when they are looking for jobs, but also the experience as well.  Gaining experience is tantamount to gaining an education according to most employers.  An employer at a career fair who sees that a college student is willing to do what it takes to learn as much as they can about the field of their choice is more likely to hire them than one who is simply looking for a job. 

There are many career fair opportunities all over the United States. They are for various types of professions, including those who are not college graduates.  It is important for college grads to attend a career fair that is designed specifically for them.  This can help them eliminate jobs that will not allow them to advance in the career of their choice.  When a college student is ready to graduate college, or has just graduated from school, they need to look for jobs for college grads that relate to the field in which they studied, not just any job.  While many college students take any job to pay the bills when they are in school, when it comes time to look for a career, it is important to look for a job that is in the field of study, even if it is an entry level job.  A college grad who takes a low paying job in their field is better off than those who take a higher paying job that has nothing to do with their field of study simply because they will be able to use the experience that they gain in order to further their career. 

If you are looking for jobs for college grads as well as a career fair for college graduates, you should register at a site online that is created for those who are attending college or who are recent graduates of colleges and universities.  This can help narrow the search down from jobs that are suited for those who studied in a certain field and make it easier for college graduates to obtain jobs that will help them advance in their career.

Vancouver, British Columbia is a beautiful port city in western Canada. Because it is a vibrant and temperate metropolitan area within close proximity to many enjoyable outdoor recreational activities, Vancouver is considered a desirable place to live. The downside to this fact is that the cost of living is extremely high compared to the rest of Canada, and it can be a difficult place to secure gainful employment. Still, that should not discourage anyone from making Vancouver their home, and by utilizing one or all of the techniques below, one can find their perfect job in this wonderful city.

Internet Searches
Most job seekers begin their search online. Many employment opportunities are found on websites like Job Bank Canada and Workopolis, and if nothing else, these sites can give a person an idea regarding what types of jobs are available. Keep in mind that many of the best jobs are not listed on the internet, so to diversify one’s job search online, it can be helpful to search for businesses and companies that that are of personal interest. Sending an unsolicited resume is considered poor form to many employers, but there is nothing wrong with inquiring about possible openings while telling a little about one’s qualifications. There are many other resources available for online job seekers that are worth checking out, and most government opportunities can be found online, as well.

Take it to the street
Vancouver is a compact city with a discernible city center. This makes it easy and productive to go downtown and walk the streets looking for “Help Wanted” signs. By introducing oneself to business owners in person, job candidates can make a lasting impression, and a street job search shows employers that one is motivated and willing to do what it takes to find work.

Understanding local industries
Every city has its primary industries, and Vancouver is no different. Tourism, film production, software development, forest services and biotechnology are all fields with significant economic ties to the city. It can pay to focus on industries that are prosperous in Vancouver because related firms are more likely to be hiring.

There is no sure fire way to find a job in Vancouver, but hard work and perseverance are always rewarded. That is what it takes to find work virtually anywhere. It may be harder to find work in Vancouver than in other Canadian cities, but it is worth pursuing, as the reward is being able to live in one of the most dynamic and desirable places in North America.

If bilingual employment is what you seek then besides the skills you need to have a CV that impresses the reader / prospective employer. When applying for a bilingual job you must keep in mind that while there are plenty of jobs available in the market there are plenty more applying for the job. Writing a CV for a job post that requires candidates that are bilingual is not very different from your regular job application CV. The only thing difference here is the fact that you need to give importance to the different languages that you know and the degree to which you can communicate in them. For example can you only speak the language or can you read, write and speak it etc.

The CV presentation

Whether you are contemplating on applying for multilingual employment or not there are certain golden rules that one needs to follow in order to have an effective CV. You must remember that presentation is the most important aspect of a CV. Keep it precise and crisp. Use paper that white and do not ‘decorate’ the page with any kind of graphics. Perfect spelling and grammar is extremely important as this says a lot about your personality.

Personal details

A CV always has 2 parts a personal section and an employment section and a CV for bilingual employment is no different. Use the personal section to fill basic information about yourself including your education. Your achievements and personal interests will also be a part of this section although it might feature at the end of you CV. Ensure that details like your name, address and contact information are correct so that you can be reached if need be.

Professional details

The professional / employment section of your CV should contain you employment history. You will need to start with where you are currently employed, your designation etc and draw up the list backwards. Therefore your first employer will feature last on the list. A CV always holds more weight if it has a set of references. Include these if you can. The references that you list should preferable be people that you have worked with in the past. Since we are talking about a CV for a bilingual position you might want to emphasis on the various bilingual jobs you’ve had in the past. Bilingual employment services also help with CV writing so you could get a few tips from them as well.

UK Immigration has recently changed to a points system

….work permits for the  UK are not so easy to attain these days as they were 18 months ago.

There are ways that it is possible as we will discuss.

Highly skilled professionals can apply for their own work permits for the UK.

Tier 1 applications are now in place of the old highly skilled migrant program or HSMP as it was known.

For the options available for work permits for employees, on sponsored visas through the traditional 5 year (or 60 months) work permit has now been changed over to what is now known as Tier, 2 and the criteria for qualifying through the points system has been made a little more difficult.

The applicants current and past experience, salary, qualifications, job description and supervisory experienced is analysed more strictly and the salary to receive tin the UK has to be at a higher level than was previsouly allowed.

NVQ level III or above, HND level occupations are the two special visa types for the employees with lower qualifications. An employer can only hire them, showing the absence of responses from the EEA residents for the positions advertised in public media for four weeks

The UK has been in the top choices among most of the skilled professionals looking to work abroad.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of applications are submitted for work permits in the UK.

Only thirty five percent of the submitted applications get approved. That’s why, while applying for a UK work permit, you have to be very specific and careful and take proper advice and work with experienced OISC approved consultants.

The Tier one (HSMP) is a visa option only available for the highly skilled professionals. Other than those, the workers have to request for work permit in UK through their employers. An  HSMP ..highly skilled migrant program or Tier 1 visa holder can work anywhere in UK for two years and they can request an extension showing the proper documents and contracts of the job. The tier 2 work permit also has a shortage occupation list in which an employer can save some time by not need ing to prove they have advertised throughout the European Union for 4 weeks and could not find any suitable resident or EEA (European Economic Area) Resident workers.

The shortage occupation list typically has executive level, health professionals, engineers, teachers, veterinary surgeons are included in that list which have high demands in UK.

Tier 3 was for seasonal workers from the EU and is now suspended, this has taken over from the old SAWS (agricultural) work permits and the old SBS work permit … A sector based scheme work permit for the meat and fish industry.

Tier 4 and Tier 5 work permits will be discussed in more detail later.

If you are eligible, or an employer looking for work permit processing to hire someone from outside the EEA, our experienced team members are here to help you all through the processes.

We can assure a painless and professional experience while dealing with our team for foreign worker employment and immigration services in the UK.

Career Change Tips and Advice

Building a career over years is becoming a rarity in the age of fast forwarded careers. Hardly a decade ago, any bright-eyed, freshly minted graduate had his options cut out for them. You either get into a management school, get into engineering school or med school and pray that you came out in one piece.  Choosing was not much of a problem, because your choices were limited, and in more ways than one, you got chosen by your profession. By luck you would find yourself able to tolerate what you do as a job and live on. Today, we have avenues for jobs springing up in places we never imagined. The choices are endless post the IT revolution. People change jobs by the weekend. The tendency to change one’s career is on the rise. Sensitivities have changed. Everybody has a reason to change jobs, at least an excuse to convince themselves that they made the right choice.

Changing careers is a common sight today. Most of the people are interested to shift their careers and they have different reasons for it. A. Harrison Barnes, the CEO of job portal Employment Crossing says that there are people who switch careers as soon as they have stepped into their “chosen” field in the face of fallen expectations. There is also the breed that discovers A. Hidden talent they can put to use in a much better way in a different career in the middle of their present careers. Though the prospect of changing the decision about their career is at times painful, the average person today has the courage to change their careers for they find themselves suitable for a different job than the one they are presently in. Job satisfaction is a crucial factor today, so much to the extent that we find employers changing the office environment to make their employees feel “happy” coming to work. It is no longer surprising to hear of a person who landed up in a field that had absolutely nothing to do with the choices he made during his/her education or later on, in the beginning of their “planned” career. Today, the possibilities for a career change at any stage in your present career are endless.

A career change has its bounties and benefits, but there is always the risk factor of losing your way if you do not keep your head straight. Though a career change does involve risk, according to A. Harrison Barnes, you will not know unless you take the risk. A career change also allows you to experience different jobs and provide you with enough knowledge about the day-to-day processes involved in a particular profession. It provides them avenues to learn more and more capabilities and areas where they can excel.

Every individual has his or her own reason to change careers says A. Harrison Barnes. Some may have problems dealing with their colleagues or the seniors with whom they spend the whole day at office. In the present scenario, where the average person has a fairly high degree of sensitivity, uncomfortable peer interaction could easily be a factor that governs a career shift. It is seen that in most cases of resignation from a particular organization, the individual leaves his immediate supervisor and not the organization.  Another reason for the shift could be the frequent change in tasks or even in rules that are not allowing you to perform.

Another culprit of a career shift is the lack of concentration or dwindling interest in routine chores at work. It is a possibility that one can lose focus of the big picture and thus fail to perform up to the desired mark. This change in attitude can put the individual in situations where he is pointed out to be incapable of handling his job efficiently and eventually a burden to his working environment. This could easily provoke a job shift. Though this could result in an immediate shift to a different organization in the same field, it is highly likely that such an individual can face a similar pattern of situations, wherever he or she goes, which may eventually result in verifying the decision to embark on this career and the probability of a different career option.

Changing careers is never an easy job. You need to look at all the facts and take them into perspective before you take the plunge. The few aspects that you need to consider are shared with you below by A. Harrison Barnes.

An H-2B Guest worker visa program guide for employers and corporations.

America has always been the dream destination for many people, especially foskilled professionals as the wages and facilities that one employee can earn while working inside USA is often more than they can earn at home, or it has more value in USA than it has at home due to the reasonable costs of living for basic things like clothes, food and travel.

We recently did a poll of all our applicants and USA was the top choice destination by far, which would support the fact that the US consulates are very keen to make sure that non immigrant workers intend to return home after their contract has finished.

USA work visas and guest work programs have different options according to the demands and the type of available jobs in USA.  The H-2b visa program for seasonal jobs is the main visa for lower skilled workers and often is the preferred USA work visas or guest worker program for employers. It allows  employers to hire foreign workers to get engaged in any kind of non-agricultural job for a short term, non immigrant stay in the USA.

The H2B Guest worker program offers  an extension option for up to three seasons, typically each visa is issued for 190 months or less at a time depending on the seasonal need.

This is a good visa for  people looking for some travel and fun jobs while residing in the US. Employers need temporary foreign employees for short time seasonal employment. The  H2b visa sponsorship is popular for it’s easy application and relatively hassle free approval process for the Labor certificate and the petition as long as the application has been handled correctly and with the right information, documents and approach submitted to both the department of labor and the USCIS at the time of applying for the I-797 petition.

Employers need proper advice before submitting documentation and all the necessary extra information before they apply for a labor certification approval to allow them to participate in the  H2b USA work visa program.

Employers will have to prove that their is unavailability of enough workers in their locality and that their need of temporary workers is genuine to allow them to apply for these visas for their own employees.

They should start to prepare to apply for the applications six months before the workers are needed, this gives enough time to plan ahead for an April 1st or October 1st start date. The main problem to the application if it is a genuine need is that there is a cap imposed  for 33000 successful applications in every fiscal years( six months), while there are approximately 50000 applications approved by the USCIS, these extra approvals are usually to cover those applicants that are rejected at the US consulate stage, which is approximately one third of all applicants.

Thta is a scary statistic to employers who have spent months and a great deal of money preparing for the workers, the question we get asked most when employers are made aware of these facts is always the same …”Is there a risk free way  procedure to follow while applying for the H2B Visas and petitions?”

The answer is that yes there are some simple procedures that should be followed and there are ways to ensure you stand the very best chance of success and minimize your chance of failure, this is done through proper candidate selection, proper documentation, experience of knowing what is needed at what time and having local knowledge in the countries that you are recruiting from.

Osrec offers a great option that you can expect proper guidance about the application process. Here, you can find experts doing immigration and recruitment for years. We are ready to help you completely so that you never have to bother with the filing and submission process after supplying us with the  proper documentation.

The main risk comes at the consulate stage but we have a unique preparation, screening and skills testing system in place to ensure the best chance possible.

Our goal to to help clients succeed in getting their workers on time and that they are quality workers that can hit the ground running.
