Immigration Policy
An employee of Kforce Global Solutions Inc. will be part of a large extended family with a publicly traded parent company known as Kforce Inc.
One of the many benefits of working with us is the ability of our parent company can sponsor the following types of Visas to employees for travel to the United States for consulting engagements.
H-1B Visa
The H1B program enables Kforce Global to hire foreign professionals for a specified period of time. H1-B applicants must be filling a position in a specialty occupation and hold appropriate credentials for the job. H1B visa holders must be paid the prevailing wage for the work being performed.
Qualifying occupation categories are typically jobs in the fields of IT, Computing, Finance, Accounting, Banking, Marketing, Advertising, PR, Sales, Recruiting, Engineering (all types), Teaching, HealthCare/Medical, Legal, Lawyers, Networking, Telecoms, Business, Management, Scientific Research.
The length of time that a worker can hold an H-1B visa is usually an initial period of up to three years. The initial H-1B visa can then be extended one time for up to a combined total of six (6) years.
The worker's dependents may also be permitted to live in the US during the period that the H-1B visa is in effect, but can not work while on an H-4 visa. The H-1B visa is also a ‘dual intent’ visa which allows the holder to apply for a Green Card.
L-1 Visa (or L-1 intra-company transfer)
An L-1 is a nonimmigrant visa, and is typically valid for up to 7 years, however employees in this category will initially be granted an L1 visa for up to three years.
Since Kforce Inc. is the parent company of Kforce Global Solutions, this visa will allow foreign workers to relocate to the US and work on a Kforce project. The employee must have been an employee of KForce Global Solutions for at least 1 year prior and in either a managerial, executive or “specialized” knowledge position. In order for the employee to adhere to requirements by the USCIS, they must hold a university degree or foreign equivalent and be a citizen of the Philippines.
There are two types of L-1 Visas:
- Manager or Executive
- “Specialized” knowledge professional
The term allowed for an L-1 visa includes transfers for the initial 3 years with a maximum of:
- 7 years for a Manager/Executive or
- 5 years for a “specialized” knowledge employee
Spouses of L-1 visa holders are allowed to work after obtaining work authorization, without restriction, in the US, and the L-1 visa is a ‘dual intent’ visa allowing the holder to apply for a Green Card
