Do top American universities (such as NYU, etc.) sponsor H1B visa petitions for staff position? If yes, what type of jobs are sponsored in staff positions?

I edited it to make it more generalizable and apropos for this SE.– RoboKarenSep 27, 2016 at 17:41

The key here is the nature and duration of the job. You simply can't sponsor an employee for an H-1B visa if the position doesn't require at least a Bachelor's degree. You can't sponsor without being able to assert that qualified US citizens/residents weren't available- for most low level administrative and IT positions, that can be tough. It also makes little sense to sponsor for an H-1B visa if the position is for a limited time- thus many universities won't sponsor an H-1B visa for a one or two year post-doc or visiting assistant professor position.– Brian BorchersSep 27, 2016 at 19:54

Actually, the sites I looked at seemed to suggest it happens pretty regularly. But yes, absolutely must be specialized and long term.– RaydotSep 27, 2016 at 20:07

Yes. A simple google search for "H1-B university staff" links to a bunch of federal and school-specific policies. It goes without saying these roles are reserved for people with "specialized knowledge," etc. Also a link to a similarish question about faculty is here.
You asked "what type" and I missed that the first time around. Here is a link to a page that explains H1B jobs open at NYU. Not all but mostly faculty positions.
