Could you perhaps point me in the right direction?

Good day,

I am a 31 year old mid-career male from Johannesburg, South Africa.

I am experienced and qualified in Finance / Administration.

I am desperately seeking opportunity to Immigrate to the U.S.

I have contacted various job boards, companies and recruiters directly, but everyone says they are unable to assist me unless I am physically present in the States. This would be a problem as I need to secure employment first.

I believe there are companies that sponsor H1B visas which would be the ideal way in. But I have no idea who to contact?

Could you perhaps point me in the right direction? Or even assist me please?

Regards,


William

I assume that you can search Google for "American companies that sponsor H1B visas" and see if you can find a list of them.  Here is one job search site that has some companies listed.  https://www.indeed.com/q-H1b-Visa-Sponsorship-jobs.html

Hi, the problem you'll face here is that H1B visa is a lottery and has a cap of 65,000 per annum. Generally, there are approximately 300,000 applicants annually for this visa category with the cap being filled 3 times over 4 days after opening. This article covers here - https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis … ss-fy-2019 

if you're looking for the companies with the highest allocation, they can be found here: http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2018- … onsor.aspx
