The United States has opened a pathway for Nigerian professionals seeking employment in the country through H-1B visa sponsorship.
This was disclosed in a publication by Ellis Visa Sponsors, a US immigration law firm, on Monday.
The H-1B visa programme enables US employers to recruit highly skilled foreign professionals for specialised roles that typically require at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent.
Although the programme is highly competitive due to the annual cap on visas, several US companies continue to sponsor thousands of qualified international workers each year.
Data from Ellis Visa Sponsors obtained by PUNCH Online, which monitors over 180,000 US employers, identifies the companies that consistently rank among the largest H-1B visa sponsors.
