Permanent Residency Employment Based Visa [EB-3], which is known as the Green Card is available for qualified workers in 4-5 years. The entire family of the applicant, i.e. spouse and all unmarried children under the age of 21, can also be included in the application.

HR Nepal assists US Companies in locating and recruiting qualified Workers, both skilled and unskilled. Positions for skilled Workers are in the hospitality, restaurant, building maintenance, construction, automobile repair and other workers. Positions for unskilled Workers include food processing, cleaning and janitorial, warehousing and assembly.

All positions must be full time, and all positions are for Companies that are not able to find and recruit qualified and available US Workers to meet their employment needs. Upon receipt of the Permanent Residency visa or Green Card, the Worker does not have to reapply for a work visa to continue on a full time basis with the Company, as the visa has an indefinite term for employment authorization.

All sponsoring Companies comply with government wage standards that require the international Worker to receive the same wage as US workers for the same position. The description of the position and requirements of the employer will factor significantly into the wage determination. The process requires that the employer apply for Labor Certification through Department of Labor [DOL]. The wage rate is based upon the description of the position provided by the Company and the specific geographical location of the work. The Company will advertise and meet other requirements of the DOL. All costs for obtaining Labor Certification are the responsibility of the employer, not the Worker and not HR Nepal.

In addition to the wages paid to the Worker, the Company should also provide Worker's Compensation insurance in accordance with State Law and make required federal and state tax deductions from the Worker's payroll. Although health insurance for the Worker is not mandatory, it is highly recommended that health insurance be provided.
