H-1B sponsor lookup

Type a US employer's name to see how many H-1B petitions it has had decided by fiscal year, split into new approvals and denials, transfers in, and continuing or amended petitions. The figures come straight from USCIS's public H-1B Employer Data Hub. It's free and needs no account.

What each column means

Every count is a number of workers, and every approval or denial is USCIS's first decision on the petition. Later decisions, such as an appeal or a revocation, are left out, and so are petitions still waiting for a decision. The fiscal year is the one in which USCIS first recorded the decision, and a US federal fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30.

• New H-1B workers approved / denied: USCIS's "New Employment" petitions. The worker is outside the US with no classification, is starting with a new employer in a different classification than they hold now, or stays with the same employer in a different classification.
• Transfers in approved / denied: USCIS's "Change of Employer" petitions. The worker already holds H-1B status and starts working for a new employer in that same classification. This is what job seekers call an H-1B transfer.
• Continuing and amended approved / denied: four USCIS categories added together. "Continuation" is continued employment with the same employer and no change. "Change with Same Employer" is a non-material change, such as a new job title with the same duties. "Amended" is a material change in the terms of employment, or a substitution. "New Concurrent" is a second employer in the same classification while the worker keeps their current one.

How to read an employer's history

• New approvals in recent years show that the employer files petitions for workers it is bringing in or starting fresh. If you need a first H-1B, this is the column to look at.
• Transfers in show that the employer takes on workers who already hold H-1B status. If you have an H-1B and want to move, look here. See applying to jobs on an H-1B for how the process works.
• A past filing is not a promise for your role. An employer that sponsored workers last year may not sponsor your team, your level or your job this year. Ask the recruiter directly, and check what the job ad says: the guide to sponsorship wording in job ads explains each phrase.
• A large count is not a count of openings. It shows how many workers the employer had petitions decided for, not how many jobs it is filling now.
• The name is the legal petitioner name. A company may file under a parent, a subsidiary or a different legal name than the brand you know. If a search finds nothing, try the legal name or the parent company, or fewer words.
• Counts are first decisions only. An appeal after the first decision is not reflected.

The 50 employers with the most new and transfer approvals

Workers approved in fiscal year 2026, ranked by new approvals plus transfers in. USCIS data as of 2026-09-30. Names are the petitioner names USCIS publishes.

Limits of the data

• The hub comes from forms entered by hand, and USCIS warns that entry errors and petitioner mistakes can leave an employer name, tax ID, state, city or ZIP code missing or wrong.
• The city and state are the petitioner's mailing address, not where the worker will be employed. We show the mailing location with the most approvals in the latest year only to help tell employers with the same name apart.
• USCIS counts by tax ID and uses the most common spelling of the name for each one. Different companies that share a name are combined here under one name, and one company that files under several names appears as several.
• Pending petitions are not included, and neither are decisions after the first.
• USCIS updates the hub quarterly, so the newest fiscal year can be incomplete. Each result shows when we last loaded the data.
• These are petitions filed for workers, not job openings. The data does not say which roles an employer will sponsor, or whether it is hiring now.

Frequently asked questions

What does "change of employer" mean in the H-1B Employer Data Hub?

USCIS counts a petition as a change of employer when "Change of employer" is selected on Part 2, Question 2 of Form I-129: the worker already holds the same nonimmigrant classification and will begin working for a new employer. Job seekers call this an H-1B transfer. The hub reports it as the number of workers approved or denied.

Does an employer with many approvals sponsor my kind of job?

Not necessarily. The hub counts workers whose petitions USCIS decided for that employer, not job openings, and it does not say which roles are sponsored. USCIS also warns that data entry errors and petitioner mistakes can leave a name, tax ID or address wrong or missing. Use it to see whether an employer files H-1B petitions at all, then ask about your role.

Is the city and state in the results where the person works?

No. USCIS says the city, state and ZIP code are the petitioner's mailing address from Form I-129 and are not necessarily the work location. The hub also uses the most common spelling of the employer name for each tax ID, so a company can appear under the legal or parent name rather than the brand.
