Does the Employer Have to Serve as the Sponsor or Petitioner?


At Innovative Global Talent Agency, we understand the challenges and complexities that come with serving as a petitioner for visa applications. The process is often expensive, time-consuming, and fraught with uncertainties. To alleviate this burden on employers, we have developed a solution where the employer does not need to serve as the sponsor or petitioner.

Eliminating the Burden on Employers

1. Innovative Global Talent Agency as Petitioner and Sponsor

We take on the role of petitioner and sponsor for visa applications under the structure of a U.S. agent for multiple employers. This means that our subscribed clients do not need to worry about the intricacies and responsibilities of the visa process. By acting as the sponsor, we ensure a smooth and efficient pathway for talent acquisition.

2. Focus on Work, Not Immigration

One of the primary concerns for employers is that the visa process can divert attention from critical projects. By allowing us to handle the visa petitions, employers can focus on their core business activities while we manage all aspects of the immigration process. This approach minimizes disruptions and ensures that talent can concentrate on their work rather than visa-related queries.

Permanent Residence Options

1. O-1 Visa to EB-1A Self-Sponsored Visas

Our structure also facilitates a seamless transition from the O-1 visa to the EB-1A self-sponsored visa. Candidates who are approved for the O-1 visa through our agency are often excellent candidates for the EB-1A visa, which does not require employer sponsorship. This pathway offers a straightforward route to permanent residence without involving the employer.

2. EB-2 National Interest Waiver

For industries where it is applicable, we also support the EB-2 National Interest Waiver. This visa category allows individuals to apply for permanent residence based on their exceptional abilities and contributions to the national interest, again without the need for employer involvement.

Supporting Talent with Legal Counsel

1. Reduced Fee Consultations

To further ease the process, we provide our candidates with access to legal counsel at significantly reduced fees. Instead of relying on employers for immigration advice, talent can consult directly with our retained attorneys. These consultations are offered at a minimal cost, ensuring that candidates receive the guidance they need without burdening the employer.

2. Internal Training and Support

We also conduct extensive internal training to prepare our talent for the immigration process. This proactive approach ensures that candidates are well-informed and can navigate the visa process with confidence, further reducing the need for employer intervention.
