For foreign nationals looking to live and work in the US, an #H1Bvisa can be a vital ticket to highly skilled work. It allows foreign nationals with specialized professional expertise, either gained through a degree or work experience, to work in the US via company sponsorship. H1B visa holders can live and work in the US for three years, after which an employer can petition on their behalf to extend their stay for another three years if they wish to remain. Each year, MBA and business master's graduates find opportunities in the US via this key visa route. The list of top firms that sponsor H1B visas has typically been dominated by tech companies, with the likes of Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft sponsoring thousands each year. Leading consultancies, including the Big Four firms Deloitte and EY, also sponsor thousands of highly skilled professionals to work in the US via the H1B visa. Elsewhere, the visa offers a route into areas such as retail, with Walmart a top sponsor of H1B visas in 2024, as well as entrepreneurship -- many leading startups use it to find world-class talent. The H1B visa landscape is constantly changing. Only a couple of months ago, the US Court of Appeals decided to uphold a ruling that ensured spouses of H1B visas have the right to work in the US on a temporary basis.

Powerful new public data set on #H1B visas. Bloomberg alleges that IT staffing firms are gaming the visa lottery system: submitting lower-skilled, lower-paid workers multiple times under shell companies to boost their chances of winning. I've worked in several jobs now with amazing coworkers on H-1Bs: super-skilled tech talent, often from #India, moving to the U.S. to strengthen American companies. These visas are very competitive, though, and I've had friends who lost their jobs and therefore their sponsorship, and then had to return to their home country. I'd love to see the #DataFam do some of their own #analytics on this data in #TableauPublic. The graphics in the Bloomberg story offer some great starting points.

The writing is on the wall: hiring foreign national workers leads to company growth. According to a recent article in Fortune magazine, capping H-1B visas at 85,000 could substantially slow U.S. growth in tech fields like AI. Demand for H-1B visas remains incredibly high, yet the H-1B visa lottery remains capped at 85,000 acceptances. In 2023, hundreds of thousands of #foreignnational applicants were denied. If this policy seems archaic, it’s because that’s the case. Research shows that hiring foreign nationals leads to innovation, job creation, and growth. At The Build Fellowship, we provide cap-exempt H-1B solutions for global talent because we’ve done our homework and know that the best way to drive U.S. growth and innovation is with global talent.
