Who pays for employer-sponsored green cards?

Answer

Employer-sponsored green card fees are usually the responsibility of the employer.

This includes various costs such as legal assistance fees for immigrant petitions, labor certification expenses, form filing fees, tools and equipment as needed, transportation costs necessary to employment, as well asand living expenses when the employee is traveling on employer business. Other expenses such as Form I-140, Form I-485, and premium processing fees may be paid by the employee, upon agreement between the employer and the employee.

To avoid confusion and disappointment, both parties must discuss and clearly outline their financial responsibilities before beginning the employment-based green card sponsorship process
