Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name SBH Ag Services, Inc. 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.

- 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.
