A posting can look like a perfect match, but then you have to separately figure out: Does this company actually sponsor H-1Bs? Do they have a history of green card sponsorship? Does this specific posting say anything about sponsorship? Is the company generally sponsorship-friendly, or was it just a handful of cases years ago? Ar
