About us

We publish what the
government actually says.

BeInCareer USA is a guide to US visas, work authorization, green cards and pay, written for Indian students and professionals. Every number here is traced to a primary source — and where the source is silent, we say so instead of guessing.

18 guides published 55,087 sponsors tracked 392,175 filings analysed 4 federal data sources

Why we exist

The problem

Immigration guidance goes stale and nobody corrects it

Most of what circulates about US visas comes from forums, consultancy blogs and aggregators copying each other. Figures get repeated years after they changed. A wrong date costs someone a filing window; a wrong rule costs them a job offer. There is no correction mechanism anywhere in that chain.

What we do instead

Start at the source, and show our working

Every guide names the official page it came from. When USCIS, the Department of Labor or the IRS does not state something, we write that the source is silent rather than filling the gap. It makes our articles shorter and occasionally less satisfying — and it means you can check us.

How we work

Four rules, applied to every guide
Rule 1

Primary sources only

USCIS, the Department of Labor, the IRS, DHS Study in the States and the Department of Education. Not aggregators, not other blogs, not AI summaries of either.

Rule 2

If we cannot verify it, we do not print it

We have dropped whole articles over this. When a source we needed was unreachable, we published the mechanism and left the unverifiable claim out — even when it was the most compelling line in the piece.

Rule 3

Show the cohort, not just the number

Every statistic we publish carries the sample behind it. A median drawn from 57 people is a weaker claim than one drawn from 375, and you deserve to see which you are reading.

Rule 4

Say what the data cannot tell you

Every data guide ends with its own limits. Our salary figures exclude equity. Our sponsor list is one quarter. Knowing the edge of the evidence is part of using it.

H-1B labor condition applications

We parse the Department of Labor's quarterly disclosure file directly — every certified H-1B filing, with employer, worksite and wage. That is where our sponsor list, salary tables and prevailing-wage analysis come from.

How we built it
Education outcomes 120k+

Programme-level earnings and debt

From the Department of Education's College Scorecard: what graduates of a specific programme at a specific university actually earned, and what they owed. It is the only honest answer to "is this master's worth it".

Who this is for

Students planning a US degree

What a programme actually pays afterwards, whether its CIP code qualifies for STEM OPT, and how the route from F-1 to a job really works.

Professionals already working in the US

What your occupation pays, what your legal wage floor is, how portability works when you change employer, and what the green card queue actually involves.

What we are not

Important

Not a law firm, and not the government

We are not affiliated with USCIS, the Department of Labor, the Department of State, DHS, the IRS or any other agency, and we do not represent them. Nothing here is legal, immigration or tax advice, and reading it creates no professional relationship.

We never file anything on anyone's behalf and never charge for applications. For a decision that matters, talk to a licensed immigration attorney or your university's Designated School Official.
