The International and Postdoctoral Services Office provides processing for H-1B, TN, E-3 and O-1 sponsorship by Augusta University.
The decision to sponsor a scholar for any status rests with the hiring department or college. Departments or colleges, however, may not be aware of current requirements and processing timelines for attaining nonimmigrant status. For this reason, if sponsorship for nonimmigrant status is required for your employment at Augusta University, it is best to confirm that our office has assessed your situation before a final determination is made on start date, position and salary for your employment.
IPSO takes pride in its customer service. We strive to consider both the department's interests and candidate's career path in assessing immigration options. We urge applicants to consider that each person's immigration circumstances are unique and what may be the case for friends and colleagues may not apply to your situation.
