Anyone get hired for an electrical engineering job in the US from overseas?

Asking for someone I know. He has a bachelor’s in electrical engineering and worked in the Gulf, but recently lost his job and is now back in Pakistan.

He’s looking for a company that would hire him from Pakistan and sponsor his US work visa. He’s open to junior roles too and flexible on location.

Has anyone actually done this recently, or know a company that’s hiring people from overseas? We’ve seen jobs that say they offer sponsorship, but can’t tell if they mean only people already in the US.

Would appreciate any company names or leads. Just trying to help him figure out where he has a realistic chance. Thanks!
