Top H1B Visa Sponsor Companies in FY2010 (inc. E3 Visa)

Immigration News, , , , , , ,

You may remember that we did a post early in 2009 for the top 100 companies that sponsored H1B visas in FY2009 as well as our much broader list of US Visa Employers. These lists also include us visa sponsorship in the E3 visa category, however this is a very small subset of these lists so we developed our E3 Visa Employer list.

Now H1B visa season in FY2010 only recently concluded on December 21, 2009 over 8 months after the season began on April 1, 2009. In recent years this quota has been filled in short time after this April 1 date but due to the US economic downturn and the many lay-offs, this past year the season went far longer than was expected and was extended past the usual end of the US immigration calendar year on September 30.

While the full official final list of biggest H1B visa employers for FY2010 (as mentioned this includes E3 visa as well) for the season has not been released, this preliminary list has been released for the Top employers this past US immigration year.

You will notice if you compare the top 25 employers of US visas in 2009 to the past Top 100 employers list we did last year, that many companies like InfoSys, Tata and Satyam have dropped substantially both in the number of US visas for foreigners applied for and their overall rank. In the cases of Tata and Satyam, they are not even on this top list anymore.

This further shows again both the fallacy of the arguments perpetuated by bigots in the US Congress and the US media about foreign companies (mainly Indian) taking the jobs of US citizens. Hey as mentioned even if they did, it would still only represent a tiny fraction of the total US workforce and so would also not be taking those jobs. That is not even to mention the huge net positive benefit to the US both recently and throughout history of this pro immigration policy in massive job and wealth creation for all of the US.

Additionally it shows the fear many companies have in the US. Both foreign owned and locals like Microsoft and Google were  more reluctant to hire highly intelligent and qualified foreign talent for fear of unfair and unjust media reprisal in the current economic climate. That is not to mention the TARP companies who were virtually forbidden hire foreigners regardless of their skillset to help get them out of their mess.

  2. There are many good consultancy in Bangalore who can provide you job in US or Canada but its a bit risky specially now because the job market in US is still not good and ofcourse they wont prefer an Indain for the existing vacancy.The best way to get an H1B visa is through the company itself for which you are working and if your company dont send employees onsite then i would suggest you to change the company and join Indian based software company lke infy,wipro or cts.
    NOTE:Dont give your contact number in public blogs or foum.its always adivcable to give email id.Becareful next time.
