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 Green Card sponsorship works
Green Card sponsorship starts with the employer. Once you have an offer, the employer works with immigration counsel to file the required labor certification and petition with USCIS on your behalf.

Which energy companies sponsor the most green cards?
Kiewit sponsors the most, with 26 Green Card approvals in the last year, followed by BHE Renewables (18) and EOG Resources (10). Across the 10 energy companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 97 Green Card approvals in total, based on the latest published U.S. government disclosure data.
Who qualifies for Green Card sponsorship?
Green card sponsorship through an employer typically requires qualifying under the EB-2 or EB-3 immigrant visa category. EB-2 requires an advanced degree or demonstrated exceptional ability in your field. EB-3 skilled worker requires at least two years of experience but no minimum degree. In both cases, most employers must complete PERM labor certification with the Department of Labor before filing an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS on the worker's behalf.
How much does it cost a company to sponsor a green card?
For an employment-based green card, the employer generally covers the PERM labor certification and the I-140 petition, which run into several thousand dollars plus legal fees; some later steps can fall to the employee. Government fees change periodically, so check the current figures before you rely on them.
How do I get Green Card sponsorship from a top sponsor?
To secure green card sponsorship from a top energy employer, start by applying for roles where the employer has an established track record of PERM filings and I-140 approvals. Once you receive an offer, the employer initiates the PERM labor certification process with the Department of Labor, then files an I-140 petition with USCIS establishing your immigrant worker classification. Priority date backlogs affect applicants born in certain countries, particularly India and China, so the sooner sponsorship begins, the better positioned you are.
