Honest answers, no sales spin.
What's the minimum number of workers I can request?
+
We typically place crews of 3–8 workers per project, but we're flexible. Single-worker placements are available on the J-1 Fast Track tier. Contact us and we'll find the right fit for your project scope.
How does the visa process work?
+
CraftCorps handles the full visa sponsorship process. For H-2B Placement, we sponsor H-2B temporary work visas. For EB-3 Premium, we file PERM labor certification, I-140 immigrant petitions, and guide workers through green card processing. Your only involvement is approving the candidate profiles we send you.
What happens to workers after their visa expires?
+
On H-2B Placement, workers work under H-2B visa status (6–12 months). On the H-2B + Training tier, we help transition workers to extended H-2B or EB-3 pathways for longer-term US presence. On EB-3 Premium, workers receive green cards and can stay permanently.
Who handles worker housing?
+
CraftCorps coordinates housing before workers arrive. We arrange safe, affordable housing near your jobsite through vetted local partners. Housing costs are not included in the placement fee — we provide transparent housing cost estimates during the matching process so you can factor them in.
Are certifications recognized nationwide?
+
Yes. Our trade certifications are issued by recognized US industry bodies and the registered apprenticeship program is federally recognized. OSHA-10 is valid in all 50 states. We can provide full credential documentation for your HR and compliance records.
Can I request workers with specific trade experience?
+
Absolutely. We screen for trade experience during recruitment and match based on your project requirements — framing, electrical, plumbing, or masonry. When you submit an employer interest form, include your trade needs and we'll send candidate profiles before any commitment.
What if a worker doesn't work out?
+
We provide replacement support. If a worker doesn't meet performance expectations within the first 30 days, we'll work to find a suitable replacement at no additional placement fee. We want the match to work as badly as you do.
