What Exactly Is This Report and How Do I Analyze It?

The above report shows the top 20 companies based in the United States of America that have hired and sponsored French people from 2008 to 2018.

For example, during those 10 years, BNP Paribas employed and sponsored 69 French citizens out of 918 foreigners.

Best Sponsor Companies for French People

This final report ranks companies by Nationality Score, from Le Lycée Français De Los Angeles at the top (score of 70) down to Capital Fund Management International in 20th place (score of 30).

This report contains the Nationality Visa Score and the percentage of French people among the total number of foreigners hired and sponsored by each company. It is the most realistic report for identifying which companies are the best sponsors for French people in America.

For example, if a company has sponsored 38 French people among 18,000 foreigners, that's a very small percentage of successful sponsorships. However, if a company has already sponsored 15 French people among 50 foreigners, there is a better chance you will be sponsored, even if the company ultimately sponsors fewer French citizens overall.
