(If you’ll require EHTP to commence, i.e., “sponsor,” an immigration or work permit case in order to employ you, either now or at some point in the near future, then you should answer yes. An example of an immigration or work permit case that may require sponsorship now or in the future would be an H-1B or other employment-based work permit sponsorship. As a note, unfortunately EHTP does not sponsor visas for employment at this time.)
