How do I add my visa and work authorization?
In Account settings, open the Preferences tab, find the Immigration section and choose Edit. Say your work status, visa type, work authorization and whether you need visa sponsorship. Be accurate, because employers plan around it. Employers you apply to can see these details; employers browsing Live sourcing do not see your visa type, status or work authorization.
Steps
- Open Account settings, Preferences tab.
- In the Immigration section, choose Edit.
- Fill in Current U.S. work status, Visa type, Work authorization and Visa sponsorship (Required or Not required), then choose Save.
Good to know
- Changing these after an offer can delay a start date.
- Visa type and work authorization are optional until you have a visa on file; the other fields are required.
