The H-1B is a temporary worker visa allowing you to stay in the U.S. after your OPT expires. An H-1B visa must be sponsored by an employer and not every employer will do this. Step one in being eligible for an H-1B visa is to find an employer who is willing to sponsor you.
When applying for the H-1B visa, you’re hoping for an approval that is a COS (Change of Status). The H-1B visa is granted for six years, with some options to ‘extend’ in specific circumstances if you leave the U.S. If your goal is to stay in the U.S. after your OPT expires, use the FrogHire.ai extension which will filter the sponsor-friendly companies for you, while also tracking all the jobs you have reviewed and applied for, along with offering you ideas about how to make your resume stronger by identifying the key words you are missing!
The simplest way to check a company’s E-Verify participation (without even leaving your job search website) is to use the FrogHire.ai extension during your job search. Not only will this extension show the company’s participation in E-verify, but you can also filter to only view companies that are participating in E-Verify program by using our Job Screener feature allowing you to also see which companies have a history of H-1B sponsorship.
Often the most feasible way for the typical person to stay in the U.S. if they do not win the H-1B lottery is to continue their education via an advanced degree, which will reset their OPT

In the last blog, we discussed how a sponsorship strategy can ease the talent acquisition challenges that SMEs face.
For Small and Midsize Enterprise (SME) owners and HR managers, finding the right talent for a job opening is not easy. When there is a job description written for a technical position, they must advertise quickly and hope for more than a few applicants. Retention can be even more difficult as experienced technical staff want to leave for larger, more well known companies that offer better “perks”.
