Document background
The EB Agreement is a specialized employment contract used when a U.S. employer intends to hire and sponsor a foreign national employee for immigration purposes. This document type combines traditional employment terms with specific provisions related to immigration sponsorship, making it essential for companies engaging in employment-based immigration. The agreement ensures both parties understand their rights, obligations, and responsibilities under U.S. immigration and employment laws. Typically utilized during the initial hiring process or when converting an existing employee to sponsored status, the EB Agreement covers crucial aspects such as visa sponsorship commitments, maintenance of immigration status, cost allocations, and compliance requirements. It serves as a foundational document that protects both the employer's and employee's interests while facilitating the complex employment-based immigration process.
