Hi,
I requested my company to sponsor me for the green card from my TN status. They researced with there imigration lawyer and told me they are not going to do that because of the high cost and process. I told them I am willing to pay for the cost and all I need is there support. I was told as per there immigration lawyer this is illegal to have employee pay for the process!! Could any one tell me if this is illegal and how do I convince my company that this process will not be that painful for them. Any ideas and guidance will be highly appreciated.
