Can a new company Sponsor Green card? My company is 1 year old now and has 1 year of tax return. Is it true that company needs to have 2 years of tax returns to sponsor a Green card? What are the basic requirements for a company to sponsor Green card?

There is no age requirement for companies that wish to sponsor employees, but the younger and smaller a company is the more likely it will be scrutinized for its ability to pay the required wage and the more difficult it may be for the company to produce the required evidence. This is something you should consult with an immigration attorney about, as your options and odds will heavily depend on the specifics of your situation.

No, there is no rule that a company must be two years old to petition a foreign national.

Hi, the primary issue is to demonstrate your employer's financial ability. There is no minimum years of operation.

there is no age requirement as long as the company has resources to pay the wages, and the position is a bona fide position. let the company counsel worry about the filing and qualifications.

A petitioning company does not have to exist for more than two years to file a petition with USCIS. In an EB – 1 (multinational executive /manager )situation the petitioner must have existed for at least one year in order to file the FORM I-140.
