Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up.

- Coordinate Cross-Functional Security Alignment: Collaborate closely with IT, Enterprise Security Engineering, and Product Development teams to ensure operational GRC policies map seamlessly into our technical architectures and evolving AI governance frameworks (e.g., ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF).
- Security Awareness & Compliance Training: Champion a culture of security awareness across all levels of the organization. Design and deliver targeted training programs so employees understand their roles in maintaining compliance and data privacy.

- Day 60-90: Complete a comprehensive internal risk assessment and present a clean, unified risk and compliance metric dashboard to senior leadership covering GRC control health, exception trends, and upcoming audit preparation timelines.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Governance Risk And Compliance
Credential your specialized certifications before applying
CISA, CRISC, CISM, and CFE designations strengthen your PERM case by demonstrating specialized qualifications beyond a standard degree. Document each certification with official transcripts and issuing-body letters before your employer opens the labor certification process.
Target employers with dedicated compliance functions
Banks, insurance carriers, healthcare networks, and publicly traded manufacturers maintain standalone GRC teams and routinely sponsor foreign workers. Employers with formal compliance programs are far more likely to have HR infrastructure that understands PERM filings.
Search sponsoring employers using Migrate Mate
Filter Migrate Mate by GRC job titles and green card sponsorship history to find employers who have filed PERM applications for compliance roles, saving weeks of manual research into DOL disclosure data.
Verify the prevailing wage tier before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL-determined prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and location. Use OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage bands for your GRC title before salary negotiations close.
Clarify the employer job description matches PERM requirements
PERM job postings must state the minimum requirements actually needed for the role, not inflated credentials. A mismatch between what your employer lists and what USCIS expects for EB-2 advanced-degree professionals can trigger an audit before your I-140 is filed.
Understand how concurrent filing affects your timeline
If your priority date is current for your country of birth, your employer can file the I-140 and your I-485 adjustment of status simultaneously, cutting months off the wait for work authorization while your green card processes.
Green Card Governance Risk And Compliance: Frequently Asked Questions
Do governance, risk, and compliance roles qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most GRC positions qualify under EB-2 when the role requires an advanced degree in a field like finance, law, accounting, or information security. Roles filled by professionals with a bachelor's degree plus five or more years of specialized experience typically qualify under EB-3. Your employer's attorney determines the category based on the actual minimum requirements of the position, not your personal credentials.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a compliance professional?
PERM sponsorship leads to permanent residency rather than a temporary status, and EB-3 green cards have no annual lottery. The tradeoff is time: PERM labor certification alone takes six months to a year before the I-140 petition is even filed. H-1B visa approval can happen in weeks and provides immediate work authorization, but it caps out at six years without a green card in progress.
What does the PERM labor certification process require from a GRC employer?
Your employer must conduct a good-faith recruitment campaign, including job postings, newspaper ads, and internal notice, proving no qualified U.S. worker was available. For GRC roles, DOL scrutinizes whether the posted minimum requirements are genuinely necessary and whether the offered wage meets the prevailing wage for that specific compliance SOC code and work location.
Where can I find employers who sponsor green cards for compliance and risk roles?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for GRC positions where employers have a documented history of PERM filings, so you're not applying blind. Financial institutions, healthcare systems, and government contractors are frequent sponsors because their regulatory obligations create ongoing demand for compliance professionals that can't always be filled domestically.
Can my priority date affect how long it takes to get a green card in a GRC role?
Yes. Your priority date is set when USCIS receives your I-140 petition, and how long you wait for a green card depends entirely on your country of birth and the monthly Visa Bulletin cutoff dates. Most countries other than India and China see relatively short waits at EB-3, but Indian-born GRC professionals can face multi-year backlogs regardless of how quickly the PERM process finishes.
