Identification
Employee legal name, date of birth, A-number or receipt number, and contact details for unambiguous identification.
A standardized HR Green Card Sponsorship Form centralizes required facts, documents decision rationale, reduces inconsistent data between HR and immigration counsel, and creates an auditable trail that supports timely PERM, I-140, and I-485 steps.
The form is designed for coordinated completion across HR, hiring managers, and immigration counsel to ensure accuracy and compliance.
Use role-based review to confirm job details, salary offer, recruitment history, and legal attestations before proceeding to government filings.
An HR Manager completes employee identifiers, documents recruitment steps and wage offers, and ensures personnel records match the sponsorship statement; they coordinate internal approvals and maintain the audit copy.
An immigration attorney reviews the completed form for legal sufficiency, advises on PERM or I-140 eligibility, drafts government submissions, and confirms evidence needed to withstand USCIS or DOL review.
