IU Immigration Bridge Program

  • If you have a solid job opportunity in the United States, but your prospective employer is hesitant about the H-1B visa process, the IU Immigration Bridge Program launched at the Kelley School of Business can help you get to an offer—even with companies that don't typically sponsor students with U.S. work authorization needs.
  • IU Immigration Bridge is a proactive partnership between the Kelley School of Business, the IU Office of International Services, and a top immigration law firm, Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy LLP to assist students with H-1B visa needs by streamlining the visa process for potential employers.
  • While the IU Bridge Program does not guarantee a visa sponsorship, an H-1B visa, or employment, it does improve the situation for students with U.S. work authorization needs being recruited both on and off campus.
