U.S. companies in the fastest-growing industries need access to specialized talent to maintain a competitive edge. Yet the odds of a foreign national being accepted by the annual H-1B visa lottery are less than 25%.
The Build Fellowship’s cap-exempt H-1B visa solution offers an immigration pathway to skilled global talent, with a 99% acceptance rate, without relying on the H-1B lottery.
Build Fellows are employed part-time by Build Fellowship nonprofit and University partners, enabling them to work full-time for U.S. companies – like yours.
