Dear Ped,

If you are eligible to apply for H1B, you need an H1B
sponsor (employer) to file a Petition for Nonimmigrant
Worker with required supporting documents like copy of your
educational certificates (BS/BA minimum requirement),
passport, experience etc. You can start working for your
employer ONLY after your H1B approval.

Thanks
