- U.S. Immigration Services for Work Visas
- Interstride: features the top US employers of international grads, enabling students to easily search for employers who sponsor graduates for their H-1B visas as well as CPT and OPT. Interstride also hosts webinars and curates helpful content for international students seeking employment in the US and their home countries. Alumni can also access Interstride as a resource in their job search and alumni and students can share advice and network with each other through the platform.
JOB SEARCH FOR H-1B VISAS
The following resources are a sample of organizations which have sponsored H1B visas or have in the recent past hired international students. Please do not limit your job search to these organizations. There are many organizations, in addition to these, which will sponsor. Furthermore, some organizations aren't aware of the process. If you are able to educate a potential employer about the process, they may consider sponsoring your H1B visa.
- U.S. Dept of Labor & GoinGlobal list all companies submitted H1B visas applications for the prior 12 months. (On-campus users can access GoinGlobal directly. If you are off campus, you can login to Handshake and link to the site once you are logged in.)
