Our intention is to assist these highly skilled workers in navigating the challenges they face during these difficult times by offering support, including a job board listing open roles available in the greater Chicagoland region to H1-B visa holders, and to demonstrate Chicago's commitment as an affirming and welcoming city for immigrants.
