QUESTION
Can a vending machine route owner sponsor a H1B?
Asked on Oct 23rd, 2014 on Immigration - Massachusetts
More details to this question:
I own a vending machine route and I have a foreigner friend of my thrust, currently under a B2. He has a Business Administration bachelor degree and was a restaurant owner himself for 6 years, not to mention his 5 years experience as a business analyst.
I would like to hire him to manage my business. Is it possible to sponsor a H1B Visa for him under my vending machine business? Thank you for your time.

Hello. Although he may qualify based in his background, it is very tough to get an h1b for a small company. It would depend on the size of your business, employees, income, etc. In addition, there is a quota and you cannot file until 4/1/15 and he cannot work upon approval until 10/1/15.
