Software Engineering in the United States: How it works

The American technology market, which is the largest on the planet, will employ more than 4 million software engineers by 2023. This function is essential for the development of the technology sector given its importance in building millions of applications and programs used around the world. 

And if you're a software engineer in Brazil and want to immigrate to the United States, you're not alone: more than 20,000 Brazilians obtained their respective Green Cards in 2022. This is a record number of professionals migrating to the United States in search of security, stability and new career opportunities.  

Engineering and technology are essential areas for the development of a country, and an experienced engineer has a high probability of obtaining a Green Card if he or she is eligible according to US immigration criteria.

Not only the career opportunities but also the salaries are attractive in the United States: the average annual salary for a software developer exceeds 500,000 reais according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Salaries in the USA

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for a software developer is 132 thousand dollars.

These are the average annual salaries for software developers in states with the highest salaries and good employability:

  • California: 182 thousand dollars.
  • Washington: 152 thousand dollars.
  • Rhode Island: 147 thousand dollars.
  • New York: 141 thousand dollars.
  • Alaska: 137 thousand dollars.

Other positions in the technology market, such as hardware engineers, also have excellent pay in the United States, with an average annual salary of 140 thousand dollars.

America: the ideal destination for you and your family

Whether you want to enhance your professional career, earn your salary in dollars, move permanently from Brazil, or secure a stable and prosperous future for you and your children, America is the ideal destination for you!

EB-2 visa

If you are a software engineer and have more than five years ' proven experience in your field and exceptional skills in your field, you may be eligible for a Green Card!

The EB-2 visa was created by the American government in 1990 through the Immigration Act, designed to facilitate the migration of skilled workers to the United States, and thereby encourage technical, academic and financial progress in the United States. 

This visa category, alongside the EB-1 category, allows a qualified worker to obtain their green card without the need for a prior job offer in the United States.

And one of the best advantages of this category of green card is that, if you are approved, your spouse and children under the age of 21 will also receive their respective green cards, so that your whole family can move to the United States alongside you.
