H1-B Sponsorship and Targeting Employers
The best option to work full-time for up to six years is to have an employer apply directly for an H-1B visa on your behalf. Become familiar with the H1-B sponsorship process and keep in mind that the U.S. Government caps the number of available H1-B visas granted in the U.S each year.
Here is some information to keep in mind about the H1-B visa:
- Current law caps the annual number of available H-1B visas in the U.S. Applications are accepted the first business day of April and end once the cap has been reached. The earlier you apply, the better.
- Become an expert in the H-1B visa sponsorship process. Prepare to answer any questions prospective employers may have about the process.
- Identify employers who hire in your field and have an international presence.
- Certain employers are exempt from the H-1B quota including not-for-profit institutions of higher education.
- See the websites below for H-1B information and locating sponsoring employers:
