Visa Sponsor Databases
There are several online databases that can help you identify employers who have previously hired international candidates and sponsored visas.
Interstride Visa Insights – A robust employer database that lists jobs and internships categorized by work authorization and visa type. Interstride also lists top employers who have sponsored H-1Bs or hired candidates with Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT).
My Visa Jobs – A database that provides detailed information on top H-1B visa and Green Card sponsors. Search employers to view their sponsorship data, or view reports on top H-1B sponsors, occupations and industries for each fiscal year.
H1B Grader – A database that provides visa sponsorship and wage data for companies in the U.S. Use this website to review company sponsorship data, wage statistics, reports on top H1B employers, and search for H1B sponsors by job title, city or name.
U.S. Department of Labor Disclosure Files – The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) publishes extensive data on employment-based immigration in the United States. This includes comprehensive data on employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) in order to sponsor employees for H-1B visas. Download the most recent “LCA Disclosure Data” file for detailed information on employers who recently applied to sponsor H-1B visas, and the job titles for which they applied to sponsor.
Keep in mind that employers often update their hiring policies. An employer that has sponsored H-1Bs and other visas in the past may not currently be open to sponsorship. Additionally, some employers only sponsor H-1Bs and other visas for specific teams or roles. While these databases can be a useful resource, it’s essential to conduct your own research and engage with current employees for the most accurate and up-to-date information. Please note that these are external resources and employers have not been reviewed by the Duke Career Center. Always conduct research on employers and exercise caution when applying for jobs.
