This final report contains the Nationality Visa Score and the percentage of French people among the total number of foreigners hired and sponsored by each company.
This report is the most realistic in defining which companies are the best sponsors for French people in America. This list will help you prioritize your research.
For example, if a company has sponsored 38 French people among 18,000 foreigners, that’s a very small percentage of successful sponsorships. However, if a company has already sponsored 15 French people among 50 foreigners, there is a better chance you will be sponsored, even if the company ultimately sponsors fewer French citizens!
