Looking for a Job That Sponsors H-1B Visas? Start Here

Oh, the H-1B visa lottery nightmare...

Hey there!

So, you’re approaching the end of your studies and wondering—how do I find a job that will sponsor my H-1B visa? We get it. The process can feel like a mystery, but here’s the secret: some companies are actively looking for international talent and are much more likely to sponsor visas. You just have to know where to find them.

Instead of applying randomly and hoping for the best, focus on companies that have a track record of hiring foreign workers. Platforms like Ellis, Zippia Foreign Worker Jobs, MyVisaJobs, and CareerShift make this search easier by listing employers that have previously sponsored H-1B visas. These companies already understand the process, which means a much better chance of securing a job with sponsorship.

Not a recent graduate? Fill out this quick survey so we can send you tailored content based on where you’re at in your international student journey.

But don’t just rely on job boards—networking is just as important. Reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn, attend career fairs, build your personal brand online, and connect with alumni from your university who have gone through this process. Many companies prefer referrals, so making the right connections can give you a huge advantage. Click here to check out our networking guide for international students!

You can also use platforms like Hunter.io to find the email addresses of professionals at companies you’re interested in. A well-crafted cold email can help you stand out and land valuable connections. If you need a cold email template, we got you.

Timing is everything when it comes to the H-1B visa. The H-1B lottery happens in March every year, which means you need a job offer before then. Don’t wait until the last minute—start applying now to give yourself the best chance of success.
