What is the easiest way to get a job in the U.S. if you’re from India?

Before I address your question of how to get employment in the US, I urge you to consider pursuing a career aligned with your aptitudes and interests. This will give you purpose, meaning, happiness and fulfilment in life. In today’s globalised world, there are infinite job opportunities – and across the world!

Here are are some options that you can explore for a job of your choice in USA. Domain knowledge and expertise in your chosen field along with the requisite employability skills will definitely give you a competitive edge.

1) STUDY IN USA

Higher education in USA is exorbitant unless you have a substantial fee waiver or scholarship! So a cost benefit analysis is essential.

Once you embark on your studies there, you are eligible to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT). This is a temporary employment that is directly related to a full time student’s F-1 Visa in his/her major area of study. While gaining employability skills, it provides a valuable opportunity to showcase your potential and land a job.

Eligible students can apply to receive up to 12 months of OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies (pre-completion) and/or after completing their academic studies (post-completion). However, all periods of pre-completion OPT will be deducted from the available period of post-completion OPT

As a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) student on OPT jobs you can stay on upto 3 years.

If you’re pursuing PhD/Research, you can start earning between USD 25 – 30 per hour as a Teaching Assistant or an annual salary of about USD 35, 000 as a Research Assistant.

2) FIND A JOB

Remember, that organizations in the US generally hire computer professionals from India because of their high degree of expertise and competence. Indian software developers are the backbone of the majority of US companies and tech start-ups. However, there is also a fair demand for professionals in the fields health care, technology, banking & finance, business analytics and scientific research. The bottom line is your having an ‘in demand’ specialization and skills.

On being offered a job, you will have to get an H1 B visa sponsorship from your employer. Presently only about 5 per cent US companies facilitate this. However, the good news is that the President Joe Biden-led new administration has already begun work on relaxing the H1B application rules of the Trump era. A recent article published in livemint.com states that Joe Biden will send a comprehensive immigration bill to Congress which among other things proposes to eliminate the per country cap for employment-based green cards. This policy change will benefit hundreds and thousands of Indian IT professionals in the US, whose current wait period for legal permanent residency (Green Card) runs into several decades!

While H1-B or L1 visas (when your company has a branch in the US) are valued, many persons want to apply for permanent residence or citizenship through naturalization. This can take a long time and entails a tedious process.
