Yes. Energy, Oil and Gas don’t hire international students. You can sometimes work through a consulting company but that is usually not as desirable. I think you also missed my post about top 100 companies who hire H1B’s

Thanks for the list, bb

As I know, Amazon sponsors H1B and initiates the green card process right away. As I understand, the employer applies for a PERM Labor Certification to initiate the transition to green card.

Does it apply to all the companies in the list, or some just sponsor H1B?

Thanks!

I would guess that I’d they sponsor H1B, they would be also open to sponsor a green card.

It would be shortsighted of them to offer a dead-end type of a situation. Also, if you are going through a green card for a period of time you can’t switch your employers without restarting process so more benefits to stability. It seems they would sponsor a green card. No reason not to.

Some companies sponspors H1B but don't promise to initiates GC or initiates GC for limited employees. Salary structure differes between H1B vs GC employees. In tech consultancy, people with GC gets higher salary than people with H1B. For example if person Z is on H1B and has joined company from his native place, in US company can pay him/her minimum wage but as soon as person Z's status changes to GC, his/her salary will increased to $100K+.

Thanks so much for sharing this. What is the motivation behind raising their salary? Is it because they have freedom to move around with green card?

Wouldn’t it still take about two or three years to actually get a green card?

US Visa system is as complicated as it can be. I will try to summarize what I know so far. Please refer this information with grain of salt.

Employeement Based Green Card (GC) can be filed in two categories EB1 and EB2.
    EB1 is for executives and managers. In order to file in EB1 category applicant has to show few years of managerial experience in US and outside US. Most EB1 applicants get GC within 1-2 years.

    EB2 is for skilled workers e.g. developers, architects, product managers etc. EB2 applicant go through different level of waiting period. If applicant is from India, China, Pakistan or any other country which has long queue for GC, then it can take as long as 10 years to get GC. EB2 queue for Indians is 10+ year.

Now let's talk about process. There are 4 stages of getting Green Card in EB2 category. Most applicant's GC get processed in EB2.
    1. PERM/Labor certification stage.
    2. I-140 immigration petition
    3. I-485 Application to adjust status.
    4. Finally GC

After stage 2 which is I-140 approval, applicant can apply for existing visa extension if applicant's US visa was over. Once extension is approved, applicant
can change employer. He/She doesn't have to stick with company which filed his/her GC. Most people do change their jobs once they get I-140 because it gives them opportunity to find better package company.

What is the motivation behind raising their salary? --> GC candidate with GC is treated as resident and H1B as non-resident/non-immigrant. Resident get as much benefits as citizens gets. GC candidate can file for citizenship in 2-3 years.

A majority of H1B employers pay migrants workers below market wages standards,resulting in major savings in labor costs for companies that use the H-1B.

Just a quick note that I pulled a new set of data for MBB's for 2022:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mbb-chances- ... 07047.html

At the same time, I am hearing that many MBB's have scaled down their hiring and internships in 2023. Let's see how it develops closer to the summer.

This topic and all data have been updated with the latest 2024 data (Q3, 2024)

Interesting trend for consulting and International applicants - it is definitely not bad as of last year for H1B folks.
