employer sponsorship
Company immigration support
Employer sponsorship is an arrangement where a company formally supports an employee or prospective employee for immigration purposes, typically by petitioning for a work visa or permanent residency.
The employer vouches for the worker's qualifications and commits to specific employment terms: She needed employer sponsorship to stay in the country after graduation.
The term also applies when companies fund employees for educational programs or professional certifications.
