>the limited number of employers who sponsored work visas I find the imprecise language that gets thrown around on visas unhelpful. My understanding is that a US company can try to sponsor your H1-B if you're already on OPT, but the government holds a visa lottery process, so the decision about whether or not you ultimately get it is random and not up to the company. Similarly, once you have an H1-B you can then transfer it to another employer, but this isn't a 'sponsorship'- this is a visa transfer, a completely separate legal process. Finally there's sponsorship for an actual Green Card. Just because a company does 1 of these 3 things, doesn't necessarily mean that they do the other 2. I think it'd be helpful if people in the industry used more precise language and specified what exactly they're looking for from the companies, sorry to be nitpicky. I just have this conversation a lot. I don't know what specific legal steps the companies on this guy's website do
