Visa sponsorship record

No public sponsorship records found

We didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name JMT in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).

Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.

Which visas can work for this job

Occupation: Automotive Service Technicians and Mechanics (SOC 49-3023) — estimated from the job title.

  • H-2B / H-2A (seasonal and temporary work)

    Temporary non-agricultural (H-2B) or agricultural (H-2A) jobs. The employer files a labor certification and petition; you apply for the visa at a US consulate. H-2B has a yearly cap of 66,000 (plus supplemental visas); H-2A has no cap.

  • EB-3 “other workers” green card

    Permanent residence for jobs that need less than 2 years of training. Waits for this category are long (often several years).

  • H-1B

    H-1B needs a role that requires at least a bachelor's degree, so it's usually not an option here.
