Read this before you rely on it. A certified filing is a legally binding wage attestation, but it records what an employer did, not a promise about what they will do next. University of Illinois Chicago sponsoring last quarter does not guarantee it will sponsor your role or hire you. Published data lags by roughly a quarter. Sponsorship history is evidence, never a guarantee.

How to apply to University of Illinois Chicago

  1. Target the roles they actually sponsor. University of Illinois Chicago filed most often for Research Assistant Professor in Chicago, IL. Match your search to the titles and cities above.
  2. Say you need sponsorship up front. Many applications ask; answer honestly. A history of filings means University of Illinois Chicago has sponsored before, and knows the process.

These open an external job search — a sponsorship history is not a list of current openings, and University of Illinois Chicago may not be hiring your role now. New to this? Read how H-1B sponsorship works → · Search on Google
