Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The data is sourced from publicly available disclosure files provided by the U.S. Department of Labor. It includes filings for employment-based green cards (PERM) and temporary work visas (H-1B), submitted by employers between FY2017 and FY2024.

No. This data reflects past sponsorship activity, not future job offers. It should be used as a research tool to identify employers that are more likely to sponsor international graduates, not as a guarantee.

A PERM application is part of the employment-based green card process, while an H-1B petition is for a temporary work visa for specialty occupations. Both require U.S. employers to file with the Department of Labor and USCIS on behalf of the foreign national.

The data is updated quarterly and includes filings from the past 8 fiscal years. We continuously monitor and integrate new records as they are released by the U.S. government.

University rankings on this site are based on the total number of employment-based visa sponsorships their graduates received from U.S. employers during the selected timeframe. They are not academic rankings.

While this site does not post job listings, the sponsorship data can help you identify and prioritize employers that are more likely to consider international candidates. Use this insight to tailor your job applications and networking strategy.
