Re: Question about sponsoring visa

The restaurant can sponsor foreign specilty cooks through labor certification. The process is very complicated, basically you need to conduct a pattern of recruitment to show there is no qualified US worker for the position. Then you file the petition with the Department of Labor.

Once you get the Department of Labor's approval, you file the immigration petition with the US Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS).

After USCIS approves the petition, the US consulate in India will schedule a visa interview for the cook.

The whole process is complicated and takes a long time. Please let me know if you want attorney's help in this process.
