List of US companies sponsoring H1B Visa

Found this while monkeying around and looking at MSF and MMS a while ago, thought it would be helpful for fellow international students. Kudos to folks at McIntire who compiled this list.

I've also attached a different version of the list. Same title, but different list with some different companies.

I'm sure a lot of WSO's international users will find that helpful, thanks for sharing

I am an international student and this is very helpful because in case I do not get into investment banks, I need something else to do. Thanks OP!!

i decided to expand my search to include market making positions and it seems OPT allows quantitative majors to work without Visa for 28 months? does anyone with international background have any experience with OPT??

 

Definitely include market making firms to expand your base- Optiver, Flow, CTC, SIG, Group One Trading. They have structured training programs for full time hires and also provide internships. Pretty sure most of them sponsor. Also re. OPT look at the below from http://internationalcenter.umich.edu/immig/fvisa/f_optextend.html#stem

Special 17-month STEM Extension General Information Definition of STEM OPT Practical work experience in your field of study, typically after completion of a degree for a maximum of 29 months (12 months of “regular” OPT with a 17-month extension possible). Eligibility Criteria for the 17-month OPT extension Students who have already been approved for 12 months of post-completion OPT; and Who have earned a degree in a field included on the U.S. Government's list of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields; and Who are employed in a job directly related to his/her field of study; and Who are working for an employer that is enrolled in the U.S. Government's E-Verify program. Please Note: All four of the above criteria must be met in order for a student to be eligible for the 17-month OPT extension.

 

OPT does not require sponsorship. It's needed when you apply for H1B which your firm will have to fill after your OPT Visa expires (1 year). Keep in mind that the OPT Visa holders have a 20,000 priority over the 60,000 maximum cap.
