Need Some Info On Employer Sponsorship

[hrndz6]

Hi.:blush:Can anyone tell me anything about illegals being sponsored by his/her employer. My husband is going through this right now and I don't hear much about it because his boss is handling everything at the moment. I know that they have started the Labor Cert. thing as of last week. How long does that take and will my husband possibly have to go back to Mexico for a long period of time?:( Thanks for any info you guys might have for me. I'm so lost when it comes to all the rules of immigration. Have a great day

Did you husband enter legally or illegally?

Hi Marie......my husband entered ILLEGALLY. thanks:)

If he entered illegally, then if he goes back to his country to get the visa, he will face the ten year ban. One ways to overcome the ten year ban is if he is a beneficiary of 245i. Is he?

The labor certification process can take up to 45 days once submitted. (between 45-60, I'd say). I will be going through this process as well in 2009.

I've been wondering about this - as I have heard of other people who EWI being sponsored somehow through their jobs...

HI. HOw would i know whether or not he's a beneficiary of the 245i? The lawyer did say that a hardship letter would most likely be approved if he was banned and that way he would not be away for long...definitely for 10 yrs.!!!

You have to prove through the sponsorship that there are no U.S. citizens or LPRs eligible or willing to do the job. My son-in-law almost got catch in this 3 years ago and the attorney never said anything about hardship. They basically acted as if it was just a simple trip to Guatemala and then return. However, I went and did further research and that is when I completely stopped the process because I felt he had no chance of being approved and without any other means of getting his green card, he would be stuck back in Guatemala facing a 10-year bar. If you do not file the I-130 and get it approved before he returns to his home country, then your wait will be longer. Just think about this -- if he returns and is denied and they deny his application, then he will be denied entry back into the U.S. until you go through the I-130 process which could add another 1-2 years onto your timeline.
