U.S. work authorization and assignment from Poland

MaViAl Sp. z o.o. documents the Polish employment and foreign-assignment terms before departure, including the U.S. location, assignment period, gross hourly rate, expected working time, housing, daily transport, travel, insurance and reimbursement of approved business-travel expenses.

A Polish foreign-assignment document or PL/USA 1 certificate does not authorize employment, driving or mechanical work in the United States. PL/USA 1 concerns social-security coverage only. Work may begin only after the correct U.S. employment authorization and the real U.S. petitioning-employer or authorized-agent and host-operation arrangements have been completed.

When H-2A is used, the certified U.S. job order governs the actual host operation, duties, employment period, wage, housing, meals and transportation terms. A qualifying temporary assignment expected to last no more than five years may remain under the Polish social-security system when the bilateral agreement's detached-worker conditions are met.

Selection process

  1. Submit the official English CV.
    Provide accurate diesel, hydraulic, welding and authorization details.
  2. Technical and safety review.
    MaViAl checks references, equipment experience, driving and physical requirements.
  3. Interview and document verification.
    Selected candidates complete host-operation, housing and authorization checks.
  4. Written offer and assignment.
    Travel and work begin only after all required documents are complete.

Before accepting the offer

  • Verify the U.S. petitioning employer or agent and exact host operation.
  • Confirm the wage, schedule, meal break, duties and deductions.
  • Read housing, meals, daily transport, insurance and reimbursement terms.
  • Check driving, drug-testing, welding, machinery and lockout/tagout requirements.
  • Do not travel or start work without the required U.S. authorization.

No application fee is charged for submitting a CV.
