If you need work sponsorship in the U.S., do not include it on your resume unless the employer asks for it. Focus your resume on your skills and experience. Mention your need for sponsorship in the cover letter or application form if required. Keep it simple and professional. Let your qualifications speak first and address sponsorship only when appropriate.​

Don’t mention sponsorship on your resume. Its job is to get you the interview. Listing it upfront risks disqualification. Lead with your value first. If asked in applications or screenings, answer honestly. Target sponsor-friendly companies like multinationals, STEM-heavy firms, and VC-backed startups. Use sites like MyVisaJobs and H1BGrader to track sponsorship records and network for insights.
