Hiring International Students

Get help with the H-1B visa process for international hires

Don’t let H-1B visa concerns prevent you from hiring strong international candidates for your U.S. jobs. The IU Immigration Bridge Program helps you navigate the visa process to make excellent international hires.

The IU Immigration Bridge Program is a partnership between the IU Office of International Services and a top immigration law firm, Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP. The program helps you:

Navigate and streamline the visa process
Hire top candidates regardless of their immigration status
Lock in lower legal fees while receiving the highest-quality legal services

While using the IU Immigration Bridge Program and Fragomen’s services offers no guarantees, it can increase candidates’ chances of receiving an H-1B visa.

How it works

During the offer phase or when an offer is imminent, the student will contact you to gauge your interest in participating in the Immigration Bridge Program.
After you discuss the program, the student will fill out a brief form for the Office of International Services.
The Office of International Services will contact you for permission to have Fragomen begin the discovery process.
With your permission, Fragomen will begin by sending you a questionnaire about the position and your organization’s needs.

The visa process can take several months, with no guarantee of securing an H-1B visa. Employers cover the full cost of the H-1B visa process.
