You’ve found the right person for your job opening, but you suspect there’s going to be one little catch: She’s not a U.S. citizen. In fact, you’re pretty sure she doesn’t have a green card or any other kind of legal status in the United States that would allow her to work for you. Is there any way to hire this person?

The short answer is maybe, and it won’t be easy. But with enough advance planning, it is possible for you as the employer to obtain for certain workers the right to live and work in the United States, either temporarily or permanently.
