  7. Editor’s note

    What a high approval count does and doesn't tell you

    A high approval count tells you an employer has the process, the lawyers, and the budget to sponsor. It does not tell you your odds for your specific role: a company with hundreds of engineering approvals may never have filed for a marketing hire. Two things this data cannot tell you are who covers the filing fees and how quickly a company moves. Neither is public, so ask both when you get to the offer.

How H-1B sponsorship works

H-1B sponsorship starts with the employer, not the candidate. Once you have a job offer, the employer's immigration counsel files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, certifying that the role is a specialty occupation and that the offered wage meets the prevailing wage for the location. After the LCA is certified, the employer files Form I-129 with USCIS. Most H-1B petitions go through an annual lottery. The selection rules and the filing costs have both changed recently, so check where things stand before you plan around either.

Accounting H-1B Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which accounting firms sponsor the most H-1B visas?

KPMG sponsors the most, with 132 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by RSM (22) and CohnReznick (12). Across the 10 accounting firms on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 195 H-1B approvals in total, based on the latest published U.S. government disclosure data.

Who qualifies for H-1B sponsorship?

H-1B sponsorship in accounting requires a job offer in a specialty occupation, meaning the role must typically require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as accounting, finance, or a closely related discipline. Candidates must hold that degree or its equivalent. The employer initiates the process by filing a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and an I-129 petition with USCIS. Dual intent is permitted, so H-1B holders may pursue permanent residence.

How much does it cost a company to sponsor an H-1B visa?

The employer pays the government filing fees, not the candidate. Base statutory fees run from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on employer size and processing speed, plus legal costs. Recent policy changes have added significant fees for some petitions and the amounts have been in flux, so check the current figure before you rely on it.

How do I get H-1B sponsorship from a top sponsor?

To secure H-1B sponsorship from a top accounting firm, start by applying for roles that qualify as specialty occupations and confirm the employer has prior H-1B filing history. Once you receive a job offer, the employer files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, then submits an I-129 petition to USCIS on your behalf. Because H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap and lottery, and the selection rules and associated costs have changed recently, candidates should review the current requirements before the registration window opens.
