What is Green Card Sponsorship?
The process by which a US employer sponsors a foreign worker for lawful permanent resident status (a green card), typically involving a multi-step process of labor certification, petition approval, and visa availability before the employee receives permanent work authorization.
Why it matters in hiring
Green Card Sponsorship comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
