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 energy companies sponsor the most H-1B visas?
Kiewit sponsors the most, with 26 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by Hitachi Energy (25) and EOG Resources (20). Across the 10 energy companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 120 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 U.S. employer willing to file on your behalf and a role that qualifies as a specialty occupation, meaning the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. You must hold that degree, or its equivalent through a combination of education and experience. H-1B status is granted in three-year increments and allows you to pursue permanent residence concurrently.
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 identifying employers with a documented H-1B filing history, then apply for roles that qualify as specialty occupations. If an employer extends an offer, they file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and an I-129 petition with USCIS on your behalf. Because H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap and lottery, and the selection rules have changed recently, confirm the current process before your employer files.
