Visa sponsorship available. We do not have visa sponsorship restrictions. However, if a candidate requires visa sponsorship, they must have at least two years remaining on their current visa (e.g., H1B) to allow sufficient time for green card application and transfer processes. We do not support net new H1B applications if the lottery deadline has passed, as this would delay their start date significantly.
