University Sponsorship for U.S. Permanent Resident Status for Staff Positions
The University will not sponsor persons for permanent residence status for staff positions.
To the degree that an exception to this policy is warranted, the written request for exception must be compelling and a department must have substantiated that the position is a “professional” one of a regular nature and have verified that
there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the position. Exceptions must be approved by Human Resources, prior to any initiation of sponsorship activity.
