Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Facilities Assistant
Align your degree with facilities duties
Pull up the O*NET profile for Facilities Management and map your degree coursework to its listed tasks. Employers filing an H-1B LCA need to justify specialty occupation status, and a degree in engineering, construction management, or environmental science strengthens that case.
Target employers with built-in sponsorship history
Search Migrate Mate for Facilities Assistant roles filtered by verified H-1B LCA sponsorship history. Employers who've filed before have established the specialty occupation argument internally, which shortens your negotiation and reduces filing risk.
Request a degree-requirement clause in your offer
Before signing, confirm the offer letter explicitly states a bachelor's degree in a specific field is required, not preferred. USCIS reviews the employer's job description when adjudicating specialty occupation status, so vague language in the offer creates denial risk.
Verify your worksite against the certified LCA
If you'll work across multiple buildings or campuses, confirm your employer files a separate LCA for each worksite address. DOL requires site-specific LCA certification, and working at an unlisted location puts your status out of compliance.
Use the OFLC Wage Search before salary talks
Look up the prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location using the OFLC Wage Search before your offer conversation. Your employer must meet or exceed that wage on the certified LCA, so knowing the number protects you from an inadvertent compliance shortfall.
Plan your 60-day grace period carefully
If your current H-1B ends and your new facilities role hasn't been approved yet, you have a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsoring employer. Use that window to confirm your next employer has filed an I-129 petition with USCIS before your status lapses.
H-1B Visa Facilities Assistant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Facilities Assistant role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Not automatically. Facilities Assistant is not a standard specialty occupation because the role does not universally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. However, employers can structure the position around degree-level duties in facilities engineering, environmental health and safety, or construction management, and document that requirement in the job description and LCA. Your degree field and the employer's framing both need to align for USCIS to approve the petition.
Which employers actually sponsor H-1B visas for Facilities Assistant positions?
Universities, hospital systems, large commercial real estate operators, and manufacturing companies are the most common sponsors because their facilities teams regularly require degree-level technical or engineering oversight. Browse Migrate Mate to find employers with verified H-1B LCA sponsorship history specifically for facilities management roles, so you're targeting companies that have already built the specialty occupation argument.
How long does H-1B status last for a Facilities Assistant job?
USCIS grants H-1B status for up to three years on the initial petition, with one extension available for a total maximum of six years. If your employer begins a green card process through PERM labor certification before your sixth year, additional extensions beyond six years may be available. Plan your tenure and any employer transitions around those statutory limits.
What happens to my H-1B if I transfer to a different facilities site within the same company?
Each worksite requires its own DOL-certified LCA. If your employer moves you to a facility at a different address, they must file a new LCA covering that location before you begin work there. A site transfer without an updated LCA is a compliance violation regardless of whether your underlying I-129 petition remains valid.
Can my employer use H-1B sponsorship for a Facilities Assistant role that is partly hands-on and partly administrative?
Yes, but the degree-level duties must constitute the majority of your actual job responsibilities, not just appear in the title. USCIS looks at the full scope of work described in the LCA and I-129. If hands-on tasks like equipment checks or vendor escorting dominate your day, the specialty occupation argument weakens. The employer needs to document that your role centers on degree-dependent analysis, coordination, or technical oversight.
