Any faculty position at UGA is eligible for visa sponsorship. Since faculty positions
assume permanence, especially those that are tenure track, sponsorship for permanent
residence may also be considered. If a hiring unit brings a candidate to campus for an
interview it is advisable to arrange an appointment for the candidate and a staff member
from the hiring unit with the appropriate ISSIS staff member. ISSIS will assist the
candidate and department with both visa sponsorship and permanent residency.
H visas are used
to initially hire faculty with a gradual move to
permanent residency.
