to University Provost for Sponsorship of Foreign Nationals for Permanent
Residence Form (PDF) When an employer agrees to sponsor a foreign national employee
for an application for U.S. permanent residence, the employer is
responsible for submitting the application on behalf of the employee
to a number of different federal agencies which is why there is
a strict approval process at the university. We suggest that the
department chair prepare and forward the following documentation
to the appropriate Dean of the School of College for consideration:
The Dean will then forward this documentation to Provost Campbell for final approval. Provost Campbell will send written notification to the Boston University Office of General Counsel. An Associate General Counsel will forward a formal response to the scholar, the department chair and the Dean. Provided the request is approved, the response will include the procedures for initiating the application as well as the contact information for the local immigration attorney that Boston University will work with throughout the application process . This attorney will consult with the scholar and the department to evaluate the scholar's qualifications, prepare and submit a petition and monitor the application until adjudication. Please contact the Office of the Provost on the Charles River Campus for further guidance.
