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 Omni Hotels & Resorts 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: Cooks, Restaurant (SOC 35-2014) — estimated from the job title.
- Mentioned in the listing
H-2B
- 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.
Salary vs prevailing wage
Cooks, Restaurant · Hilton Head Island-Bluffton-Port Royal, SC. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).
| Level | Prevailing wage | H-1B lottery odds* |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | $29,307 | ~15% |
| Level II | $33,405 | ~31% |
| Level III | $37,482 | ~46% |
| Level IV | $41,579 | ~61% |
The listing has no salary, so we can't place it on a wage level. Ask the employer which wage level they'd file at: Level III–IV registrations get 3–4 entries in the H-1B lottery.
* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
