Key points to keep in mind

Sponsorship benefits you, your employer, and the U.S. workforce at large.

U.S. companies in the fastest growing industries need access to specialized talent to maintain a competitive edge.

Hiring highly-skilled foreign nationals to work full-time at U.S. companies often requires the foreign national to obtain an H-1B visa, however, the annual cap on H-1B visas is a significant barrier.

The Build Fellowship’s cap-exempt H-1B visa solution offers an immigration pathway for skilled foreign talent to work full-time in the U.S. without relying on the H-1B lottery.

Once Build Fellows are approved for a cap-exempt H-1B and begin the Fellowship, their full-time employer can immediately file a concurrent H-1B outside of the lottery.

Promote diversity

Hiring employees from other countries enables a company to bring together different perspectives and experiences, promoting diversity within the company. Diverse teams deliver 60% better results and make better decisions in 87% of cases^[1].
