Here&#8217;s your guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that immigrants from India first arrived in the US in during the early 19th\u00a0century, majorly as low-skilled farm laborers? From just 12,000 Indian immigrants residing in the US in 1960, their number has substantially increased to 2.4 million in 2015, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/article\/indian-immigrants-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to an article published by Migration Policy.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was further added that the introduction of the high-skilled, H-1B, temporary visas, a non-immigrant\u00a0visa\u00a0that allows US companies to employ graduate-level workers in specialty occupations like IT, finance, accounting, architecture, mathematics, science, medicine, engineering, etc., played a major role in this growth of immigrants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indians were the highest recipients of this type of visa in 2016. In fact, Indian-origin engineers and scientists in the US have grown 85% in just 10 years between 2003 and 2013, says a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/news\/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=136430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report by the National Science Foundation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">US Visa Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of the US visa, the US government authorizes labor-based, non-immigrant visas in certain limited categories to applicants, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/manikarthik.com\/blog\/get-job-usa-india\/money\/immigration\/\">H-1B<\/a> to workers in a specialty occupation that requires at least a BA degree, H2B visas to workers interested in temporary jobs during a shortage of qualified US workers, H-2 A to temporary agricultural workers, H-1C to registered nurses and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/manikarthik.com\/blog\/how-to-get-a-job-in-the-usa\/india\/nri\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14018\">How to get a job in USA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Indians cannot apply for a visa to work in the US until they find an employer willing to offer them a job. These employers then act as the applicant\u2019s petitioner in the US visa application process, for which the employer needs to first file a petition with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses that wish to set up a branch in the US, US work visas that are non-immigrant work visas, such as the L-1 visa, E-2 visa, or H-1B visa, will be required for employees or potential employees, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.workpermit.com\/immigration\/usa\/employers-guide-us-immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as published by Workpermit.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an Indian, it is no less than a challenge to find a job in the US before winning the right to work in America. But the process can be simplified if you follow the below-mentioned steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Identify Sponsors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to get a job sponsor in the United States. The most common way is to have an employer sponsor your visa. Other ways to get a job sponsor in the United States include finding a sponsor through a professional organization or through a friend or family member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order, \u201cBuy American, Hire American,\u201d in order to protect US workers and has overhauled the H-1B visa program that is used mainly by Indian engineers and developers. However, <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2017\/04\/19\/technology\/h1b-visa-reform-india-reacts\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to an article published by CNN Tech, on April 19, 2017<\/a>, this will not be a solution to the core issue America is facing, which is the shortage of skilled workers\u00a0in the tech industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers in America, who value hard work and dedication, will never leave the opportunity to help you obtain a visa to work in the United States. However, to find such employers, you need to keep your eyes focused on ads and job posting websites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for companies that are hiring a large number of employees to increase your chances. To further narrow down your search, look for companies with a history of hiring foreign workers, especially Indians, as well as those that have been posting ads for the same jobs for a very long time, which kind of indicates their desperation to hire and go through the complicated, lengthy and expensive immigration process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have identified the employers willing to hire an Indian, it\u2019s now time for you to contact them. If you get a positive response, send a letter introducing yourself, along with your r\u00e9sum\u00e9. After that, it is up to you to impress them.
