Myvisajobs.com was created by immigrants to address the need of foreign workers. Foreigners need work authorization like H-1B visa to work in the United States. However, most American employers do not want to sponsor working visas, so most of your time will be wasted if you use the same job board as American candidates.

Myvisajobs.com helps the foreign workers to concentrate their job searches on the employers who have sponsored H-1B visa in recent years.

Many employers do sponsor working visa, but limit the sponsorship to certain locations or job categories. Myvisajobs.com also help foreigners apply for jobs in the areas that are most likely to get sponsorship.

Yes, you can. More than one third of our members reside outside of  the United States. Many employers are willing to hire foreign workers directly from overseas. Actually, nearly half foreign workers do not live in the United States when their H-1B visa petitions are approved.

For example, the number of aliens outside the United States approved for initial H-1B employment increased from 35,401 in fiscal year 2018 to 53,311 in fiscal year 2019.

Most job openings in the United States are never advertised. Only 12-14% of of external hires in the United States come from job boards. So you should use proactive strategy to pitch the employers.
