negrit··on Show HN: Visa Explorer – Salaries, lawyers, companies of all H-1B in the USA
Yes I am still cleaning the data. It's all unbelievable the amount of crap you can find in the public records. I have a lot of duplicates unfortunately.

Down the road, I'm planning on providing a couple of cool charts/map about trends and evolutions.

Hello everyone. I quickly built this little tool based on public records provided by the government.

The amount of information they provide is incredible. There are no explicit names, but for small startup or exec position it is easy to guess who is who.

As far as I know this is the biggest LCA database so far.

Interesting too, lately I've seen a growth of cuban users on my job-board in order to move to the US.

negrit··on Andreessen Horowitz-Backed Leap Buses Are Hitting SF Streets This Week
Public transportation in SF is not perfect but it's far from being broken. I lived in 10 different cities on 3 different continents. Got to ride the best public transportation(London, Tokyo, Singapore, ...) and worst(LA, Manila, ...). SF isn't bad at all.

The only issue is a non issue: Richer people can afford private drivers(Uber/Lyft/Whatever). It's nothing new, it just became more affordable in the past years. And public transportation isn't suppose to be profitable. It's about letting everyone move around a city for a very affordable price.

You're right, the search need more work. This is def something I will work on.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I know, I've heard that sentence way to often!
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Delayed email.

H1B isn't the only visa available to work in the US. It doesn't take 8 months to get the visa once you applied.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
It's in the pipeline sir!

I do have an option for the companies to tell if they accept remote work but I do not have a specific list/feature for pro-remote companies.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I thought about doing, definitively on one of my todolist!

Thanks for the kind words.

If the company have an office outside the US, you can work in the office for 12 months and then they can sponsor you for a L1 Visa.

Also, you're somewhat a well know developer ( or can make the USCIS you are) you're eligible for a O-1A visa.

You're wish to do an internship of miss the H1B deadline or don't get picked up for the H1B lottery you can get a J1 visa for 12-18 months and apply again nest year.

And lastly if the founder is on a E-2 visa, he can sponsor you for a E-2.

No aggregation is being done. I don't have a lot of jobs yet.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
True, thanks for the feedback. I need to tweak the search.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I know, it's a pity they did not use my service :(

Kidding, the jobs are posted by the companies. It's not a job directory :)

negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I'm not aware of competitors yet.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I did not yet implemented a search with faceting, this is definitively coming in the next release. I'll edit my post in few minutes to make a list for you.

EDIT: Here you go https://gist.github.com/theonegri/26737451719ab2f3267a

negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Yeah, if they decide to sponsor you for a H1B but this is not the only visa available for work.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
I'm not aware of such website. The visa situation is not easy. For a previous job in the US I had to explain why sponsoring for a visa was not complicated and not time consuming.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Good catch, I'll look into it asap. What browser are you running?
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
The companies posting the offers are willing to sponsor a work visa for the person(s) applying to the job ads if it's a good fit.
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Correct sir. I'm French :) However I chose Algolia because the service is spot on and I'm a long time fan of OVH. They're have a really good service and they are cheap!
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Thanks! Correcting it asap!
negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
For those interested by the stack:

- RoR, twitter bootstrap and some jquery.

- The search is powered by Algolia.

- The server is on a OVH dedicated server.

- Deployment with Capistrano and Active Job is paired with sidekiq :)

Also something that is not mentioned anywhere on the website. Job posted are distributed to +- 20 US universities(USC, UCSD, Cal Tech, Standford, ...) and few French computer science schools.

And I forgot to mention, it's 100% right now.

negrit··on Show HN: Find tech jobs that come with a visa
Yes, definitively coming in the next release!

For the time being I tweaked the search to only return jobs that sponsors for visas.

Thanks for the feedback!

negrit··on The Social Radar: What I Did at Y Combinator
How accurate it is with foreigners?

The way to communicate from a country to another is really different, same for the culture, ... How do you integrate the 'foreigner' factor in the evaluation?
