Meet the sponsor

The U.S. employer backing this program.

An established U.S. employer in the current cycle

EB-3 sponsorship is a 4–5 year commitment. We work only with U.S. employers that have the operational stability and ongoing hiring volume to support a multi-year case — and with senior immigration counsel on the employer side. Here is who they are.

Why this matters

Most EB-3 cases fail when the sponsor fails.

An EB-3 case typically takes 4–5 years to complete. Small single-location employers — a single restaurant, a single facility, a handful of employees — often cannot sustain a sponsorship that long. Closures, role changes, or missed compliance steps can end a case midway. Established U.S. employers operating at real scale are substantially more likely to maintain the sponsorship through the full process.

Other EB-3 programs

Single-location sponsors. Limited capacity.

Often matched to a single-location employer with a small workforce.
Sponsor doesn't have the financial scale to weather a 4–5 year case.
If the sponsor pulls the job or closes, you start over — usually with no refund.

The Most Solutions approach

Established U.S. employers. Real hiring volume.

Sponsored by Upshift — established U.S. operations with thousands of active workers.
Sponsor has the financial scale and infrastructure to support multi-year EB-3 cases.
If a sponsor can't be maintained, we place you with another employer in our network — or refund you in full.

Having reviewed thousands of immigration cases over my career, the biggest cause of EB-3 denial isn't the applicant — it's the sponsor. That's why I only work with established employers.

What Upshift does

Upshift is a U.S. staffing platform that has spent nearly a decade placing workers across U.S. hospitality, food-service, and light industrial operations. Through its network of more than 2,000 U.S. employers, Upshift sees firsthand the long-term labor demand in these sectors — and the gap between U.S. supply and what these employers actually need.

Upshift is backed by Recruit Holdings, the parent group of Indeed and Glassdoor. That backing is part of why Upshift has the operational scale and balance-sheet stability to commit to multi-year EB-3 sponsorship.

Roles Upshift sponsors

Food-service — kitchen, prep, line cooks

Why they're sponsoring

One challenge. One commitment.

Upshift faces the challenge every employer in this part of the U.S. economy faces: finding workers who show up, take the work seriously, and stay for the long term. It chose EB-3 sponsorship because the worker profile it needs points to the Philippines — and because permanent roles work better than short-term arrangements.

Upshift

Personal commitment, immigrant roots.

Upshift's founders come from immigrant family backgrounds. They're personally committed to bringing Filipino candidates into multi-year U.S. sponsorship — not as one-off hires, but as long-term employees with a real path forward.

When they looked at where the worker profile they need is most reliably found, the answer pointed to the Philippines.

Program coordination

Most Solutions coordinates the whole process.

An EB-3 case has three parties working together — the employer-sponsor, the immigration attorney, and Most Solutions. We're the U.S.-based program coordination and relocation support partner that connects the pieces and stays with you from your first call through your first day on the job.

What we do

Screen candidates and match them to the right employer-sponsor and role.
Run case management end-to-end — documents, communication, sequencing.
Send you monthly updates throughout the multi-year wait.
Coordinate flights, first housing, and first-week onboarding when your visa is issued.

What we don't do

We don't give legal advice. Legal questions go to your immigration attorney.
We don't decide your visa. That's up to USCIS and the U.S. State Department.
We don't take payment before we've confirmed you fit the program.
We don't promise outcomes — the visa bulletin and U.S. immigration adjudication are outside any program's control.
