Choosing roles with visa friendliness

Not every company in the US is willing to deal with the paperwork for an H-1B or Green Card. If you pick a company that doesn't sponsor, you are essentially on a ticking clock until your OPT expires. Use websites like MyVisaJobs or H1BGrader to see a company's history. If they have sponsored 0 people in the last three years, they likely won't start with you. Focus 80% of your energy on 'High-Sponsorship' industries like Tech, Healthcare, and Engineering. Find an employer who views sponsorship as a 'normal cost of doing business' rather than a special favor.
