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).
Company in USA | Local Representation in Pakistan |
Macrosoft Inc. 2 Sylvan Way 3rd Floor Parsippany, NJ 07054 http://www.macrosoftinc.com/ | Macrosoft Pakistan (SMC-PVT) Limited |
Netpace Inc. 12657 Alcosta Blvd. Suite 410 San Ramon, CA 9458 http://www.netpace.com | Netpace Systems (Pvt) Ltd 1003-4, Park Avenue, Shara-e-Faisal, Karachi 75400, Pakistan. http://www.netpace.com |
NetProSys Inc./ Progressive Systems (They seems to be out of operations by this name. And, unconfirmed news is that they have been acquired and/or re-branded by/as RaaWee, Inc. (see below) | |
RaaWee Inc. Eastside Atrium, 800 E. Campbell Rd, Suite 201, Richardson, TX 75081 http://raawee.com | Sidat Hyder Morshed Associates (Pvt) Ltd Beaumont Plaza, Beaumont Road Karachi 75530, Pakistan http://www.sidathyder.com.pk |
NorthStar Technologies Inc. 161 Kimball Bridge Road Suite #200 Alpharetta, GA 30009 http://www.globalnorthstar.com | Sibisoft (Pvt.) Ltd. |
360training.com, Inc. | Softech Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. # 502, 5th Floor, Anum Empire Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi, Pakistan http://www.360training.com |
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:

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)
