Very difficult unless you’re from Canada, Mexico, Chile, Singapore or Australia. If you’re not from those countries, you have three options:

H-1b: most companies sponsor for this visa for existing us students and overseas employees. This requires a lottery so sponsoring someone they don’t know will be hard.

L-1A/l-1b: you’re only eligible for this visa after you work at a company for a year.

O-1: you need academic qualifications.

Thank you so much for your response! I will look into each visa type and their requirements

Adding to G1’s list:

F1: Go to college in any accredited university in the US. Once you‘ve been in school for a year, you can get an OPT permit that allows you to work. OR get a TN status change which also allows you to work in the US.

Thank you !!!!

Does anyone know if Infosys Consulting typically has a remote structure?

I'm Boston based, in financial services, so it is hard not to imagine trips to NYC being required. With family commitments,I am not sure that I can sign on for any travel. TIA!
