Today, employment in the U.S. for Ukrainians remains relevant. Every year, more people wish to travel to America for employment purposes. This is due to the improvement of the legal framework, which guarantees legal employment in the U.S. and quality social security for immigrant workers.

Advantages of Employment in America

Employment in the U.S. is also relevant among Ukrainians for the following reasons:

• Opportunities for everyone. To find decent and well-paid work in this country, you do not necessarily have to be a top-notch specialist or know English. Even without language skills, you can find a job.
• High salary. Even during seasonal work, you can save enough funds to support yourself and your family for several months.
• Excellent working conditions. Many American employers value each of their employees and provide them with all necessary special equipment and housing during work.
• Extensive work experience. Working in America for Ukrainians is not only an opportunity for good earnings but also a great chance to gain professional experience from leading specialists in various fields.
• Working in America with benefits. Besides the 8-hour workday, you will have plenty of free time, which you can spend on excursions and getting closely acquainted with the traditions and culture of the Western country, as well as learning English.
• Special programs and opportunities. There are many programs in the U.S. that allow foreigners to study and work simultaneously. Such offers are especially beneficial for students who need temporary or seasonal work.
• The opportunity to invite your spouse and unmarried children under 21 years old.

Who is Expected for Work?

In recent years, many new industries have developed at such a rapid pace that America has started to need workforce from other countries. Therefore, this year, the following positions have become popular and most in demand:

• Programmers (of various specializations).
• Medical workers.
• Construction workers of various specializations (including construction helpers).
• Merchandisers.
• Workers in restaurants and fast-foods (waiters, cooks, dishwashers, etc.).
• Seasonal workers (packers, loaders, window installers, farm helpers, household helpers, harvesters, cleaners, nannies, etc.).

Additionally, today in the U.S., managers, translators, foreign language teachers, sales representatives, and drivers can easily find employment. Factory workers, engineers, economists, and managers have become less in demand.

Preparation for the Trip

First of all, you will need to obtain a work visa to America. Doing this independently is quite difficult. The embassy imposes strict requirements on all foreigners who wish to work in the U.S. Therefore, if you are seriously considering visiting this country for employment purposes, you have come to the right place! The Migration Center “VizaUS” provides all necessary services for visa support to the U.S. for Ukrainians.

The process of obtaining a work visa to the U.S. is quite lengthy and labor-intensive, as it requires the participation of two parties: the American employer and the prospective employee. Before applying to the embassy for a work visa, you need to find an employer who must first obtain employment authorization from the Department of Labor. Then, the potential employer submits a petition to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The review of the petition takes from two weeks to several months and involves a non-refundable fee for its consideration. Only after the petition is approved can you proceed to apply for the visa.

In the subsequent stages, the main actor is the prospective employee, who needs to: complete the DS-160 form, pay the consular fee of $190, gather the necessary documents, and successfully pass the interview. Each process should be approached with special attention, as even the slightest error can result in a visa denial. To protect yourself from such an outcome, we recommend enlisting the support of visa specialists who are well-versed in all the nuances of achieving a positive result!

To start the process of obtaining a work visa, you will need to prepare the following documents:

• Ukrainian citizen passport;
• international passport;
• four photos meeting the embassy’s requirements;
• invitation letter from the employer (original);
• employment authorization in America (original/copy);
• copy of diploma or other similar document confirming professional skills (for H-1B visa applicants);
• documents confirming work experience;
• information about the future position and expected earnings.

This is just the basic list of documents you will need to open an American visa. You can learn more about the documents and receive assistance with their preparation for submission by contacting the visa specialists at “VizaUS”.
