Eligibility and Compliance

In compliance with ADA, if accommodations are needed for the application process, please contact HR at [phone].

A Presidential proclamation issued on September 19, 2025, imposes a $100,000 fee on new H-1B petitions filed after September 21, 2025. Texas A&M University will NOT pay this fee. If you need immigration sponsorship, consult your private immigration counsel at your own expense to ascertain whether your current immigration status would make a potential offer of employment subject to this fee.

On January 27, 2026, Texas Governor Abbot issued a moratorium on the filing of any new H-1B unless approved by the Texas Workforce Commission. Accordingly, if you will now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status, this moratorium may affect our ability to employ you should you be selected as the final candidate.
