How to use this list
A company that sponsors many H-1B workers is more likely to support sponsorship for a new hire, but every role is decided separately. Before you apply, check that the job is a specialty occupation, ask the employer about sponsorship directly, and remember that most new H-1B hires need to be selected in the wage-weighted lottery. See the U.S. Virgin Islands immigrant guide for licensing, driver's licenses and USCIS offices in the state.
