Applicants FAQ

Can I still use Bridge if I don’t have a company sponsoring me?

Because we offer support for employment-based immigration, we can’t work with foreign national employees without their sponsoring employer. Please have your employer reach out to us here to schedule a free consultation on your case.

How do I access my case?

You can log in to Bridge here to access your ongoing case and see all affiliated tasks.

What if I see a task that is overdue?

Although overdue tasks are a rare occurrence, an overdue task may happen for a few reasons:

You or your employer hasn’t submitted a necessary document or entered a necessary piece of information
The Bridge team is waiting on an overdue task in order to proceed to the subsequent task
An inaccurate date entered while opening a new case can cause tasks to incorrectly be marked as overdue

If you see an overdue task, you can hover over the task to understand what determines the due date. You can also follow up with the appropriate party to revise dates or request a status update.

How does Bridge help me with my sponsorship?

Your experience throughout the sponsorship process is our top priority. Once your employer opens your case in the Bridge platform, you will be sent an email with instructions on how to login. After you’ve logged in, you’ll have access to your Applicant Dashboard that will show your case timeline, all your upcoming tasks, and any reminders. Remember to complete your tasks, like uploading your resume, by the posted deadline so the Bridge team can finish your case on time.

You are a crucial part of the sponsorship process and we want you to feel at ease. If you have any questions about your case, don’t hesitate to ask your attorney or case manager by commenting on the task in the platform or sending them an email. Again, we’re here to make your experience delightful and stress-free, so no question should go unasked!
