The process
How Yano Global works
From first profile to first paycheck abroad — here's the path most candidates take, and the three visa categories that make it possible.
Build your profile
Tell us your trade, experience, English level, and which countries you're open to working in.
Get matched
We match you against active roles from vetted employers already set up to sponsor J-1, EB-3, or H-2B workers.
Interview & offer
Employers interview shortlisted candidates directly. If it's a fit, you receive a formal job offer.
Visa sponsorship
The employer (or their agent) files the sponsorship paperwork. We guide you through your part of the process.
Travel & work
Once your visa is approved, we help coordinate travel and your first days on the job.
Visa pathways in detail
J-1 Exchange Visitor
3–12 months, non-immigrant
Students, recent grads, and early-career workers seeking hospitality, camp, or seasonal exchange placements.
- —Cultural exchange program overseen by a designated sponsor organization.
- —Often includes housing support and a built-in community of other exchange workers.
- —Not a path to permanent residency — designed as a fixed-term cultural exchange.
EB-3 Skilled Worker / Green Card
Permanent, immigrant visa
Experienced tradespeople and skilled workers (welders, CNAs, machinists, etc.) seeking permanent relocation.
- —Employer sponsors a green card via a labor certification process (PERM).
- —Longer timeline than J-1 or H-2B — often 12+ months from offer to visa.
- —Leads to lawful permanent residency, with a path to citizenship over time.
H-2B Seasonal Worker
Up to 10 months, temporary
Workers in hospitality, landscaping, agriculture-adjacent, and other seasonal, non-agricultural roles.
- —Tied to a specific employer and a specific seasonal need (peak season, one-time need).
- —Subject to an annual visa cap — timing your application matters.
- —Can be renewed with the same or a different employer in future seasons.
H-2A Seasonal Agricultural Worker
Up to 10 months, temporary
Farm workers doing planting, cultivating, harvesting, packing, and livestock work on a seasonal basis.
- —Agricultural counterpart to H-2B, tied to a specific employer and growing season.
- —No annual cap, unlike H-2B — timing is driven by the crop calendar instead.
- —Employers must provide housing and cover inbound and return transport.
TN Professional (USMCA)
Up to 3 years, renewable
Canadian and Mexican citizens in listed professions — engineers, accountants, scientists, registered nurses, and similar.
- —Created by the USMCA treaty (formerly NAFTA); open only to Canadian and Mexican citizens.
- —Requires a qualifying job offer in one of the professions named in the treaty, and usually a degree or licence.
- —Renewable indefinitely in three-year increments, but it is a non-immigrant status.
