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!

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”.
