H1B and GC sponsorships come from the same pool. In other words, a Green Card application is sponsored for H1 candidates. You are double counting your numbers.

I do agree that this expectation that one sitting in Ohio will command the same salary working for a FAANG company is just wrong. Very likely, the companies will adjust their salaries based on where the person is.
- acituan 6y agoYou're right. I double checked the numbers and 22k is H1B only and green card is a separate 6k. Edited the comment to reflect this.
- cletus 6y agoActually that's not strictly true. Green cards can be sponsored for non-H1B workers (eg E3, L1).
- jclulow 6y agoMy understanding is that sponsorship on at least the E-3 is difficult or impossible; that visa is not "immigrant intent", which ostensibly means something in the statute with respect to paths to permanent residence.
- product50 6y agoYeah - but vast majority of GC applications will be from H1-B pool
- dvirsky 6y agoFor L1 there's no issue.
- cletus 6y agoSpeaking as a successful E3->GC sponsoree I can tell you it’s not impossible (proof by counterexample FTW).
- digianarchist 6y agoJust because a visa isn't dual intent doesn't mean you can't apply for a Green Card. TN, E-3 etc can all lead to a Green Card but you have to time it right.
- austinheap 6y agoFAANG-tier companies have set ratios based on band and city. The notion that they're going to ditch these suddenly feels bizarre.
