Find Tech Jobs That Will Sponsor Your Visa — Without the Guesswork.
Visa requirements are baked directly into your Risk score. OriaFlow filters your shortlist to companies that are likely to sponsor — and clearly flags those that are not — so you invest your effort where it can actually pay off.
Start visa-aware job search — freeHow visa awareness works in OriaFlow
OriaFlow factors your visa situation into every job score. Tell Oria your current authorization status — OPT, H1B cap-subject, TN, green card pending — and your timeline. From that point, every Fit and Risk score reflects your actual visa situation. Roles at companies that have never sponsored are flagged in the Risk score. Companies with strong sponsorship histories score lower Risk. You focus your energy where your authorization is not a barrier.
What Oria considers in your visa risk
Job description statements
Many job descriptions explicitly state "must be authorized to work in the US" or "we do not sponsor work visas." Oria reads this directly and flags it immediately.
Company sponsorship signals
Oria uses general knowledge about company type, size, and patterns. Large tech companies (FAANG, MAANG), unicorn-stage startups, and established enterprise companies are more likely to sponsor. Small startups and services companies are less likely.
Your current authorization timeline
If you tell Oria your OPT expires in 6 months, roles at companies with slow hiring cycles (3-4 months to offer) will flag this timeline risk. Oria will prioritize companies with faster processes.
Hard requirements vs. soft preferences
Some roles state citizenship requirements (DoD/clearance, certain government contractors). These are hard disqualifiers that Oria treats differently from "we prefer not to sponsor" signals.
Visa types OriaFlow can support
Tell Oria your situation — it adapts your scoring accordingly.
F-1 OPT / STEM OPT
Timeline-aware scoring. Oria flags roles at slow-moving companies if your OPT expiry is within 6 months.
H1B Cap-Subject
Oria identifies companies with H1B sponsorship history and deprioritizes companies that have declined H1B petitions or have poor track records.
H1B Cap-Exempt (nonprofit, university)
If you're targeting cap-exempt roles at research institutions or nonprofits, Oria can factor this into your shortlist.
TN (Canada / Mexico)
TN is employer-sponsored but not subject to the H1B lottery. Oria scores your search with a lower baseline visa risk.
L-1 Transfer
If you're an L-1 holder looking to switch companies, Oria treats your authorization as needing a new sponsor and scores accordingly.
Green card pending (GC EAD)
If your GC EAD is approved, Oria scores you as fully authorized. If pending without EAD, Oria can factor in the uncertainty.

Frequently asked questions
Does OriaFlow filter jobs by H1B sponsorship specifically?
Yes. When you tell Oria you need H1B sponsorship, your Risk score for any role will reflect the company's known sponsorship history. Roles at companies with strong H1B track records will score lower Risk. Roles at companies that rarely or never sponsor will be flagged clearly — so you don't waste time on applications that will never proceed.
How does Oria know which companies are likely to sponsor visas?
Oria uses a combination of what's stated in the job description (many companies explicitly note whether they sponsor), and general knowledge about company sponsorship patterns based on company size, type, and location. This is not a real-time legal database — it is a calibrated signal to help you prioritize. Always verify directly with the employer before relying on visa sponsorship.
Can I use OriaFlow on OPT/CPT while waiting for H1B?
Yes. Tell Oria your current authorization status and your timeline (e.g., OPT expiring in 8 months). Oria will factor this into your Risk scores and help you prioritize companies that have a track record of sponsoring H1B for OPT employees, and companies with faster hiring timelines so your authorization doesn't lapse during the process.
I'm on a TN visa. Does OriaFlow handle Canadian and Mexican professionals?
Yes. Tell Oria your visa type and country of citizenship. TN visa holders generally have it easier than H1B applicants — Oria can reflect this in your risk scores and help you identify roles where your authorization timeline is not a risk factor.
Does Oria help with the paperwork or legal aspects of visa applications?
No. OriaFlow is a job search and application tool — it does not provide legal advice or immigration services. For legal guidance on your visa situation, consult a qualified immigration attorney. OriaFlow focuses on helping you find and apply to roles where your visa situation is not a disqualifying factor.
Focus only on roles you can actually get.
