Top 5 Green Card Sponsor Industries
One of the most effective means of obtaining permanent resident status in the United States is through the Labor Certification process in which an employer sponsors an immigrant’s green card application. Any employer may sponsor a permanent residence applicant, but certain industries are more likely than others to have successful applications due to the present condition of the labor market in the United States.
Knowing what industries to find work in can give an applicant a huge head start in the process of naturalization, and it’s important to stay abreast of changing market conditions.
Sponsor Statistics
The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) makes annual reports on which industries successfully sponsor green card petitions. According to their 2010 report, the five leading industries were:
- Computer Systems Design and Related Services – 20,663 petitions
- Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools – 5,636 petitions
- Architectural, Engineering, and Related Services – 3,097 petitions
- Full-Service Restaurants – 2,853 petitions
- Management, Scientific, and Technical Consulting Services – 2,249 petitions
When planning to work in the United States permanently, it is extremely helpful to make career choices that are conducive to a smooth labor certification process.
