Assignment from a Polish company to the United States
MaViAl Sp. z o.o. remains the named employer on this vacancy. An international assignment from Poland must be documented in writing and coordinated with the worker's employment terms, travel arrangements, insurance, payroll and the active U.S. project.
U.S. employment authorization
A Polish business-trip or assignment order does not by itself authorize productive work in the United States. The employee may start only after the U.S. status, petition, visa or other employment authorization required for the specific arrangement has been completed.
Official reference: USCIS — Temporary Nonimmigrant Workers.
Polish social-security coverage
Where the bilateral U.S.-Polish social security agreement keeps the employee under Polish coverage, the relevant certificate is PL/USA 1. It confirms social-security coverage; it is not a U.S. work permit and does not replace immigration authorization.
