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.

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:

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…
