New York, NY immigration attorney Robert B. Scott talks about whether or not a company can sponsor an undocumented person. He explains that for a company to sponsor an undocumented individual, the process can be very complicated. Generally, an undocumented person cannot be successfully sponsored by a company. The purpose of sponsorship is typically to obtain either a work visa or a green card based on employment, and being in the United States without proper status usually creates a significant obstacle.

There are some exceptions, and consulting with an attorney can clarify whether an individual might qualify for one of these exceptions. However, he emphasizes that undocumented individuals should approach employment-based sponsorship cautiously, as they may risk investing a substantial amount of money without achieving the intended outcome.
