One of the most frequently asked question I encounter is, which companies (local or foreign) are sponsoring H-1B Visa’s in Pakistan? I’m listing down a number of IT & IT Enabled Services (ITES) companies who are known to have sponsored candidates from Pakistan in past 5 years or more. And, I personally know and have met the candidates from these companies (except one).

Besides the ones mentioned above, there are other ITES companies that have presence in Pakistan and are on the record to have sponsor H-1B visas. However, it might be possible that the actual candidates are sponsored from other countries (where they also have presence besides USA and Pakistan). I’m not personally, or through my contacts, aware of any sponsorship cases by these companies:
| Company in USA | Local Representation in Pakistan |
| Mentor Graphics Corporation | Mentor Graphics (Pakistan) Development (Pvt) Ltd Floors # 5-6-7-8th, Ali Tower 105 B2 MM Alam Road Gulberg III Lahore, Pakistan 54660 http://www.mentor.com |
| TRG | |
| NetSol IR | |
| Mixit | |
| Primatics Financials |
In the end, there are companies other than ITES sector that are also on the records to have sponsor H-1B visas:
- National Bank of Pakistan
- Pakistan Link
- Pakistan Publications Inc
- Taj Software Systems Corporation (Indian company, but have known to run ads for Pakistani candidates in Pakistan as well)
