The US Department of State has issued non-immigrant visas to the personal attendants, servants, and maids of certain diplomatic and non-governmental staff members under G-5, A-3 and NATO-7 visa categories for many years. Guidelines for the sponsoring staff members were very broad, and subject to interpretation by the various sponsoring organizations.

In September 2009 the US Department of State issued new guidelines and recommendations to sponsoring organizations intended to standardize the basic terms and conditions of the G-5 domestic's employment. They also, for the first time, placed responsibility for the enforcement of these guidelines squarely on the sponsoring organizations.

HomeWork Solutions provides payroll and payroll tax services to hundreds of G-4 staff members working for non-governmental organizations such as the United Nations and the World Bank when they sponsor a G-5 domestic. We are recognized subject matter experts. We recently published a free e-book, G-5 Domestic Payroll Quick Start Guide, to help the G-4 sponsor better understand their obligations.
