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.

Which electronics and hardware companies sponsor the most H-1B visas?
Apple sponsors the most, with 1,578 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by Intel (1,336) and Micron Technology (214). Across the 10 electronics and hardware companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 3,728 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, defined as a role that normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. The employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and an I-129 petition with USCIS on your behalf. You cannot self-petition. H-1B status is granted for an initial three-year period, extendable to six, and allows concurrent pursuit of a green card.
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?
Start by securing a job offer from an employer willing to sponsor H-1B status. The employer files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, then submits an I-129 petition to USCIS on your behalf. H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap, and selection rules and associated costs have changed recently, so check the current guidance before planning your timeline. Once selected and approved, you enter H-1B status for an initial three-year period.
