US Embassy - Document for Work?

[talktalk]

Hello,

I'm in talks with a local company for a full-time position and they aren't offering me a visa. However, they said I can work en Blanco if I get a document from the US Embassy. They were to email more information on it today, but I haven't received the email. I'm going to go ahead and obtain it on my own anyway. Does anyone have any experience with this? What document am I supposed to get from the US Embassy?

Honestly Ive never known them ever provide anything of use re employment..sounds dodgy. Typically the embassy is never involved in labor isues re visas etc...

The U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires (or any other capital city) cannot provide any document that would authorize employment in Argentina. Clearly, you will need your passport, among other documents. But the adjudication of a work visa is carried out by the National Directorate for Immigration (Dirección Nacional de Migraciones). The United States plays no role.

They're either lying to you deliberately or have no idea what they are talking about.

The only one that can get you a work visa is the company that offers you the position. The company will need to have the appropriate registration/permission to employ foreigners. Once they have that, they will issue you a "pre-contract". You will take that along with all the other required documentation - background check from FBI, apostilled, your long form birt cert notarized and translated, your local crim report, copy of your passport, etc, etc and can start the process.

There is no "document from the embassy"

Thanks for the responses everyone. In that case I'll get in touch with them again to see how we can move forward.

CityGirl just gave you the exact way to "move forward". The company can offer you a job but they really are not in a position to offer a visa. Only migraciones can do that.

If the company isn't registered (or willing to register) to hire foreigners so that you can get the appropriate visa from migraciones, "employment" with them would not be legal and they could get in much more trouble than you.

If you are willing to work for an unregistered employer seven days a week (four hours a day) for $2800 pesos per month I suggest you contact BAFinance (a member of this forum). The job would not be "legal" but, as advertised, you won't pay any taxes (and neither will your employer...unless/until he gets caught or you complain).

Not any embassy has anything to do about work / residence permits in host country! I can't go to UK / Croatian embassy in the USA and ask for a residence permit. It's INS that takes care of it. Same in Argentina or just about anywhere else
