USponsorMe helps international candidates find positions in the USA at companies that offer visa sponsorship. USponsorMe provides two services.
Hospitality & Culinary Career Programs: We offer J-1 Intern/Trainee placement and visa services for professionals in the Hospitality, Food & Beverage, and Culinary Arts Sectors.
Other U.S. Job Options: We are a job site that curates job openings, offering visa sponsorship, and consolidates them in one easy-to-use platform for you to find them. Additionally, we enable pre-screened, approved employers to connect with candidates who fit their hiring needs and reach out to them directly. USponsorMe is responsible for pre-selecting candidates and arranging interviews between companies and candidates for some of our listed jobs.
The difference with a standard job site, such as Indeed or LinkedIn, is that all our jobs come with visa sponsorship. Applying for USponsorMe jobs means you will no longer hear, “We do not offer visa sponsorship.” You will not be constrained to negotiate your visa with employers either. All our companies work with immigration law lawyers or sponsor organizations that will take care of your visa process after you receive a job offer from the company.
USponsorMe can help you find a job in the USA at a company that will offer you a visa sponsorship if you are a non-U.S. citizen individual (whatever your citizenship) based anywhere (inside or outside the USA) looking for a job in the USA and need a visa sponsorship through a U.S.-based employer, for whom we have jobs on our platform.

The time it takes to get a job varies depending on the number of qualified jobs you apply for monthly, the quality of your applications, and your performance at job interviews. A USponsorMe member with a verified USponsorMe resume who is very active in job search usually gets the ideal job offer with visa sponsorship within 3-6 months.
The time to get a visa varies depending on the visa. TN for Canadians usually takes 2 weeks and 4 weeks for Mexicans. For J-1, H-1B at cap-exempt companies, O-1 if you have all documents ready, and E-3 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. For H-1B, if you have not graduated from the USA with a master’s degree, you may have a 70% chance of not being picked at the lottery, waiting for next year to resubmit, and so on. For an EB-3 that does not fall into schedule A, the sponsorship process may last two to three years and can be even longer for some citizens, such as Chinese and Indians, as the company may have to prove you do not take the job from an American (the PERM). Here, you can see the details of the process timeline for each visa.
The timeframe for getting a job offer and visa cannot overlap. So, if you take 8 months to get a job offer and 6 weeks to obtain your visa, it will be 10 months. Another example is that if you take 8 months to get a job offer, the deadline to submit your petition is 3 months after you get your job offer, and it takes 10 months to obtain your visa, which will be 21 months.
No, you don’t if you do not need a specific defense on your case.
Our companies work with their lawyers. When you get a job offer from an employer, he will put you in contact with his lawyer’s office. The company’s lawyer will assist you with your visa application.
We have 8 years of experience in the U.S. immigration process and the U.S. job search market for Foreigners!
Sarah Papasodaro and Maxime Hilaire, two French people, founded USponsorMe in 2017 after going through the nightmarish job-finding and visa sponsorship process.
In 2014, Sarah got her job in New Jersey, and Max got his job in New York City. Their respective companies sponsored each for a work visa. During the following five years, they underwent several visa-filling processes, such as E-1, E-2, H-1B, and the Green Card.
They know how painful it is. That’s why they created the platform they would have loved to have five years ago.
USponsorMe is now based in Austin, TX, and registered in Texas.
