I actually thought about it, but it's a total mess to parse :( Think of posts like "We're sorry we can't sponsor H1B at the moment, but we might get you a VISA for our London office".

On the other hand, once you're already browsing New York City, good ol' ctrl-f for VISA will probably serve you well enough.

Agreed on the parsing. It would be nice if there was a standard "form" to be posted. Something line.

Description: .... Company: keyworks: python, startup, collstuff Visas Sponsered: YES

Back when the web looked (to me) like it was going to move to XHTML2 rather than HTML5 data encoding using Microformats looked promising, http://microformats.org/wiki/job-listing. One doesn't hear "semantic web" much nowadays though.
I was gonna suggest a sentiment analysis of the sentence associated with H1B, but your last phrase summarizes my lack of ingenuity.
