Sponsor employment to relative?

[SoloJourney 0]

Hello,

I am a green card holder, and I own a small business, I decided I cant take care of it anymore and I wonder if I could sponsor employment to my sister, so she can manage my business,

Can I sponsor employment to a relative if I am a green card holder?

If so, where do I start?

I know it costs 580 to file a petition, are there any other expenses I should be aware of?

What are the requirements my sister would have to meet?

How long does the process take?

Thank you in advance

You'd need to sponsor her for a work visa, and that's not that easy- she'd need to have specific qualifications and/ or significant experience to be approved for a work visa.

You have to get this:

Labor Certification

Some immigrant visa preferences require you to already have a job offer from a U.S. employer. This employer will be considered your sponsor. For some visa categories, before the U.S. employer can submit an immigration petition to USCIS, the employer must obtain an approved labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL labor certification verifies the following:

• There are insufficient available, qualified, and willing U.S. workers to fill the position being offered at the prevailing wage
• Hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers
