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, so selection is not guaranteed even with a job offer. The filing rules and fees are set by USCIS and change periodically, so confirm the current requirements on the USCIS website before you plan around them.

Which automotive companies sponsor the most H-1B visas?
Ford Motor Company sponsors the most, with 99 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by Zoox (45) and Aptiv (38). Across the 10 automotive companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 247 H-1B approvals in total, based on the latest published U.S. government disclosure data.
Who qualifies for H-1B sponsorship?
H-1B sponsorship requires a job offer in a specialty occupation, meaning the role must normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. The candidate must hold that degree, or an equivalent combination of education and experience recognized by USCIS. The employer files the petition on the candidate's behalf after securing a certified Labor Condition Application from the Department of Labor. Candidates subject to the annual cap enter a selection process; those already on H-1B with a U.S. employer may transfer without re-entering the cap.
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, identify automotive employers with a history of filing Labor Condition Applications with the Department of Labor, Migrate Mate surfaces this filing history by company and role type. Once you have an offer in a qualifying specialty occupation, your employer files an LCA with the DOL and then an I-129 petition with USCIS. If you're subject to the annual cap, you'll enter a selection process whose rules and associated costs have changed recently, so check the current position before applying.
