Ask HN: How do I relocate to USA and get company to sponsor working visa
Hi HN,
I'm a European Citizen with 5 years of professional development experience.
Within Europe, it's quite easy to open up your profile on LinkedIn by the end of a day, be approached by countless of recruiters. On top of that, there's both honeypot.io and talent.io where companies send you requests directly.
However, when I started looking into roles within USA, I notice that most of the companies are unwilling to sponsor visas.
Me and my wife have both dreamt about relocating to Chicago.
Does any of you know of any recruitment agencies who specialise with overseas IT recruitment which provide assistance with obtaining H1B visa?
I'd be forever grateful for any help in pointing me in the right direction!
- avip 8y agoThis is not in any way answering your question, but do consider changing course to Canada &| Australia, both of which have established immigration programs that may make the move much smoother. Also there is much talk about revoking H1B spouse work permit - this will ensure your life in the USA will be a nightmare.
- pm24601 8y agoYeah. What avip said. As a US citizen this saddens me. A Russian friend easily got into Australia and is on path to citizenship. Travel between US & (Canada|Australia) is easier than probably any other country.
- ufoleet 8y agoThank you for offering that perspective, that gave me a lot to think about! Are you familiar with any recruitment agencies specialising in relocation to Canada?
