We encourage you to meet these students and work with them to increase the productivity of your business. Although the process of hiring international student is slightly different from hiring U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents, it is not over complex. Therefore, hiring an international student for a summer internship is identical to hiring a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident. The legal requirements for hiring international students for permanent employment require cooperation between the employer and the employee. An H-1B visa allows the employee to work in the United States for up to six years.
General information is listed below.
For details about hiring international students, contact your human resources department or legal counsel. Publicize the intent to employ an H-1B worker. Show that there is not a strike or lockout at the place of employment. Show that the H-1B worker will not adversely affect the working conditions of others.
