Entry Level H-1B Jobs
Entry level H-1B roles are specialty occupation positions where your employer files a labor condition application, pays prevailing wage, and petitions USCIS on your behalf before you start work. The annual cap and lottery make timing and employer selection critical for candidates without prior U.S. work authorization.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Jobs
Verify your role qualifies as specialty occupation
Pull your target job title's O*NET profile before applying. If the occupation requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field, it almost certainly clears the specialty occupation bar. Roles where any degree qualifies are harder to sponsor at entry level.
Target cap-exempt employers for your first role
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government research organizations are cap-exempt, meaning your H-1B petition bypasses the annual lottery entirely. These employers can file any time of year, removing the April registration deadline from your job search.
Check employer LCA filing history before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter employers by their verified DOL labor condition application history for your occupation code. This tells you which companies have actively sponsored H-1B roles in your field, not just which ones claim to on their careers page.
Time your job search around the H-1B registration window
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for the fiscal year starting October 1. If you're on OPT, you need a job offer and employer registration submitted in that window, so targeting offers between January and late February gives your employer enough lead time.
Ask recruiters specifically about prevailing wage compliance
Entry level offers sometimes come in below the DOL prevailing wage for your occupation and location. Cross-reference any offer against the OFLC Wage Search before accepting. Your employer must pay at least the prevailing wage on the certified LCA, not just a market rate they set internally.
Translate your credentials into U.S. equivalency documentation
If your degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member evaluator before your employer files. USCIS adjudicators assess foreign degrees against U.S. bachelor's degree requirements, and a missing evaluation is a common source of requests for evidence on entry level petitions.

Find H-1B JobsFrequently Asked Questions
What makes a job eligible for H-1B sponsorship at the entry level?
The role must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, meaning it normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Entry level positions in engineering, software development, finance, architecture, and accounting typically meet this standard. Roles where any degree is accepted, regardless of field, are harder to sponsor because USCIS may challenge whether the position truly requires specialized knowledge.
How do I find entry level employers that actually sponsor H-1B visas?
Search on Migrate Mate, which filters employers by verified DOL labor condition application history for specific occupation codes. An employer's LCA filing record is public and shows which companies have actively filed for roles matching your field, not just which ones mention sponsorship in a job posting. This is more reliable than taking a recruiter's word for it during an early-stage interview.
Can I get H-1B sponsorship if I'm currently on OPT or STEM OPT?
Yes, and this is the most common path for entry level international graduates. Your employer registers you in the USCIS H-1B lottery each March, and if selected, your H-1B status begins October 1. If you're on STEM OPT, the cap-gap rule automatically extends your work authorization through September 30 so there's no gap between your OPT expiration and your H-1B start date.
What happens if I'm not selected in the H-1B lottery as an entry level candidate?
Your employer can re-register you in the following year's lottery as long as you maintain valid status. If you're on STEM OPT, your 24-month extension may cover the additional year. Alternatively, some employers restructure your role for cap-exempt institutions, explore O-1 sponsorship if your credentials support it, or consider TN status if you're a Canadian or Mexican national in a qualifying occupation.
Is the H-1B prevailing wage requirement different for entry level roles?
Yes. DOL wage levels run from Level I through Level IV, and entry level positions typically map to Level I or Level II depending on the complexity and supervision involved. Your employer certifies on the LCA that your offered wage meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for that level in your work location. You can verify the applicable wage using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer.
