How to approach H1B sponsors?

[Yasir132 0]

Hi all,

 

I want to apply for H1B jobs and have done a lot of research. There is a website called myvisajobs. In that site, the jobs and sponsors are available but you have to pay to view their contacts. Is there any other way to directly apply to those jobs?

Sounds like a scam.

The jobs are not even available on company's website. For example, in the careers page of Amazon.com, no jobs will appear if H1B or similar keyword is written in the search box. 

 

What is the best way to find those jobs?

No, they won’t say H1B specifically usually. They would say something like visa sponsorship available. There’s no real shortcut to this ...you need to look for jobs you can do and then see if they offer sponsorship. Even then, there’s no guarantee you’ll actually get here, as H1B is oversubscribed and allotted by lottery annually (unless you work in one of the cap-exempt areas like academia, but I’m guessing if that was the case you wouldn't be looking on sites like thus.)

Of course there is another way - apply directly with the potential employers. Depending on your field of expertise you may read the industry journal postings (in most STEM fields major journals have such pages) or you can contact the employers directly and tell them how amazing you are. 

 

And, yes, I agree with @SusieQQQ that third parties promising visas are probably not a safe way to go.
