Jan 24, 2015 at 16:10 comment added paul garrett srkmish, based on observation (but with disclaimer in line with @AndreasBlass' comment), "research universities" are more accustomed to the visa process, since international scholars are usual. In contrast (at least in the past), community colleges mostly hired "local" people, so visas were rarely an issue. Either way, there needs to be sufficient incentive for the institution to take the trouble and expense (which are not zero...)
Jan 24, 2015 at 15:30 comment added Andreas Blass @paulgarrett What you wrote is usually, but not always correct. I know someone whose first job after his Ph.D. was at a large, respected, research university, which messed up his visa process so badly that he had to leave the U.S. for some months. He then got a job at a community college, which arranged for his visa without any problems.
Jan 23, 2015 at 17:29 comment added srkmish I dint get your point completely. Are you saying that the community college/universities might not sponsor a visa for an international faculty(Post MS).

Jan 22, 2015 at 17:43 comment added paul garrett There is the issue of the appropriate visa, also. The bureacratic process is not trivial, is not cheap, and universities (in contrast what I gather is typical for community colleges) usually take care of it for postdocs and faculty from abroad.
