FOCUS: INDIA and CHINA - Ranking Universities Based On Their International Students’ Green Card Sponsorship
As a leading job search tool, the FrogHire.ai extension is designed to help students — but in particular international students — with their job search. The F1Hire extension is helping thousands of students navigate their job search — in four functional ways: supporting their research of employers, understanding how nondomestic worker friendly a company is (e.g., do they sponsor work visas/green cards), skills matching, and application tracking.
The FrogHire.ai extension seeks to provide vital information to job seekers about job posts from across the five major job sites (e.g., Indeed/Handshake), offering a ranking system for job postings, employers, and academic institutions’ link to work visa/green card sponsorship (see below for an introduction to our first blog about one ranking system!). The FrogHire.ai extension also helps international job seekers find employers that are friendly towards non-domestic workers and offer work visa sponsorship (e.g., H-1B visa or Green Card), while also providing a useful ‘skill match’ feature as they review job postings: when job seekers upload their resume to their dashboard, the FrogHire.ai extension will compare the keywords in the job seeker’s resume with the job posting, resulting in a percentage match. Thus, if the percentage match is low, the job seeker knows they must enhance their resume by either revising it to include skills they have not included, or increase their training in areas required for such positions. Finally, with access to an individual dashboard, job seekers can prioritize jobs they are most interested in along with making notes about each job’s progress (e.g., if they were invited to interview).
As part of FrogHire.ai’s goal to help nondomestic workers in their job search, we analyzed hiring data across 15, 911 global educational institutions, looking specifically at its recent graduates and how many were employed by companies which sponsored its graduates for their United States Green Card. Thus, while U.S. News and World Report will rank Princeton University as #1 in 2024, our ranking system focuses exclusively on the likelihood of an international graduate student to find and obtain a position which will sponsor their Green Card to stay in the United States. While we appreciate U.S. News and World Report’s ranking system, it is based on factors including graduation rates, retention rates, faculty ratios, student debt, first generation graduation rates and Pell grant issuance — not on the very important question to international students: “will I find a job after graduation” and more importantly, “will I find a job after graduation t_hat will sponsor my stay_ in the United States?”
Our analysis of global universities ranks Carnegie Mellon University as the leading (we would rank it #1) institution for Chinese graduates of the CMU finding job offers which included Green Card sponsorships in 2023 (542 for students from India). For Indian students, the top ranked university is Anna University with 2622 Green Card sponsorships (0 for Chinese students; this university is based in India). For Indian students seeking to study in the U.S., the top institution would be the University of Texas at Dallas, with 940 of the school’s Indian graduates being issued Green Card sponsorship (193 for students from China). Graduates of the University of Southern California also fared well — earning an overall ranking from us at #5 --- with 667 Green Cards issued for Chinese employees and 844 for employees from India.
Our ranking system uses an algorithm to discern how many green cards are issued to each institution’s graduates. Given the complicated nature of immigration to the U.S., non-domestic workers need to consider the importance of rankings based on non-career oriented factors (e.g., like those used by U.S. News and World Report) or FrogHire.ai’s ranking system, which has more practical implications (versus merely prestige in the school’s ranking). For those international students and nondomestic workers seeking to immigrate to the U.S., FrogHire.ai’s ranking system indicates which schools are producing the most talented students that U.S. companies are interested in hiring - and also, sponsoring their work to stay journey in the U.S. Unlike other ranking systems, the FrogHire.ai ranking system is what you need if you want to increase your chances of finding a Green Card-sponsoring employer based upon their interests in hiring graduates of certain global universities.

TLDR: If you are seeking to immigrate to the U.S., U.S. New and World Report’s top ranked institutions may not be the best fit for you.
