Frequently Asked Questions
Which U.S. cities have the most visa sponsorship jobs?
New York, Chicago and Austin rank among the U.S. cities with the most visa sponsorship jobs, appearing near the top across the widest range of work visas. Migrate Mate ranks the leading cities for each visa, including H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT, by the jobs live on its board and updated daily, so the exact order shifts with current hiring.
How are these city rankings calculated?
Each ranking counts the live job listings on Migrate Mate for a given visa in each U.S. metro, then orders the metros by that count. The figures come straight from the Migrate Mate board and refresh daily, so they reflect where employers are hiring for that visa right now rather than historical government filings.
Do I have to live in one of these cities to get a visa sponsorship job?
No. These metros are simply where sponsorship hiring is most concentrated, which means more employers and more open roles to work through. Many positions are hybrid or remote, and candidates routinely relocate for an offer, so you can apply from anywhere and use the rankings to focus where the volume is.
Which visa has the most jobs across U.S. cities?
H-1B and employment-based green card roles make up the largest share of sponsored jobs on Migrate Mate, with TN and F-1 OPT roles also widely available. The leading cities differ by visa, so comparing the rankings side by side shows where each visa’s jobs are concentrated.
How often are the visa city rankings updated?
The live job counts behind every ranking refresh daily from the Migrate Mate board, so the cities and their order stay current with hiring. Major metros tend to stay near the top, while the exact counts move as employers post and close roles.
