How You Can Land a Visa-Friendly Job

1. Pick a Visa Friendly Job Title

Immigrants make this mistake all the time…

They pick a job title that doesn’t offer visa sponsorship.

Technical jobs tend to offer sponsorship more often.

Jobs that sponsor more include:

• Software engineer / developer, data scientist / analyst / engineer, program manager, financial analyst, business analyst, product manager, consultant etc.

Read the top 100 H1B sponsored job titles here.

Your next step is to apply to visa-friendly companies.

Here’s how to find them.

2. Find Visa-Friendly Companies

If you’re an immigrant in the US…

You’ll need to target visa-friendly companies.

There’s a few ways to do this.

Option 1:

• Go to h1bdata.info 

• Type your target role into 'Job Title’

• You'll get a list of employers who've sponsored your role in the past (you can filter by salary, location etc.)

Option 2:

• Download H1B Chrome Extension

• Go to LinkedIn

• 

It’ll tell you whether they’ve sponsored in the past.

Option 3:

• Go to aitou.io/ 

• Filter for target job & industry (primarily data scientist / software engineering)

  

Option 4:

• Go to myvisajobs.com/

• Click H1B Visa 2023 Report

• Filter by company, job titles etc. to find companies that sponsor

  

If you’re still struggling to find visa-friendly jobs…

Use the major job boards like Indeed, Monster, Zippia etc. and type “visa-friendly [insert job title]”. You (may) get some hits.
