The #1 Job Site to Find
U.S.-based Job Opportunities
from Visa-friendly Companies

You can start as soon as you are ready to dive into your job search! The time to get a job varies depending on the number of jobs you receive and apply for per month average, the quality of your applications, your performance at job interviews, and the visa you are eligible for. For example; for a USponsorMe member with a popular profile in IT, eligible for a E3 visa, with an American resume and cover letter rewritten by an expert, ready to master job interviews, and who applies for 5 or more targeted jobs weekly, he usually get the ideal job offer with visa sponsorship within 4 months.

The time to get a visa varies depending on the visa. TN for Canadian usually takes 2 weeks, and 4 weeks for Mexican. For H-1B at cap exempt companies, O-1 if you have all documents ready, and E-3, it usually takes 6 weeks. For H-1B and H-1B1, it usually takes 8 to 10 months and petitions should be submitted once a year, in March. If you are not graduated in the USA with a master's degree, you may have 70% chance to not be picked at the lottery and have to wait for next year to resubmit, and so one. We give you more precise details on timeframe regarding your profile when you complete it in our platform (for free).

The timeframe to get a job offer and the one to get your visa cannot overlap. So if you take 8 months to get a job offer, and 6 weeks for obtaining your visa, it will be a total of 10 months process.

You will need a job offer from a U.S.-based employer to get a work visa or work authorization in any cases, except if:

• you are an American citizen;
• you hold a green card or an EAD (Employment Authorization Document);
• one of your parent(s), spouse, child(s), or sibling(s)) is American citizen or green card holder and is willing to sponsor you;
• your spouse got a non immigrant visa such as H1B, E1, E2, J1, L1, and on the one you can be added as dependent and ask for a work authorization then;
• you have an extraordinary ability in the arts or athletics;
• you have an extraordinary achievement in motion picture or television industry;
• you have an extraordinary ability or achievement in the sciences, education, or business, and your presence and your activity will benefit the United States;
• you are a journalist or you work for an independent production company, and are sent to the U.S.A. by your current company;
• you are employed by a company, and are sent to the U.S.A. by your current company;
• you prefer to create a company instead of being an employee.

If you fall into one of those exceptions below, you might be able to get a work visa or work authorization without any job offer from a U.S.-based employer. USponsorMe cannot help you, and you'll need to reach out a lawyer in immigration law except for the two first exceptions. For the two first exceptions, USponsorMe cannot help you neither, we invite you to use general job boards such as Indeed, ZipRecruiter or LinkedIn.
