Jobs in USA for Pakistanis & Indians
H-1B, H-2B seasonal work and the free Diversity Visa lottery — America's work routes explained honestly.
The United States has the world's largest job market, but work visas are competitive and strictly regulated. The famous H-1B route runs through an annual registration lottery, while seasonal industries hire through the H-2B program. There is no legal shortcut — anyone promising you a 'guaranteed' US work visa for cash is running a scam.
The good news: the Diversity Visa (green card) lottery is completely free to enter on the official State Department website, and many Pakistanis and Indians apply every year. Never pay an agent to 'enter the lottery' for you — entry takes ten minutes and costs nothing.
