  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.

Finance H-1B Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which finance companies sponsor the most H-1B visas?

PayPal sponsors the most, with 249 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by Stripe (72) and Western Union (29). Across the 10 finance companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 481 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 it typically requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Finance roles in data science, software engineering, financial analysis, compliance, and quantitative research commonly meet this standard. Candidates must hold the required degree or its equivalent in work experience. The visa also permits dual intent, so pursuing a green card while on H-1B status is allowed.

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?

Securing H-1B sponsorship starts with receiving a job offer from an employer with a history of filing H-1B petitions. The employer then files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, certifying prevailing wage compliance, and follows with an I-129 petition filed with USCIS. New H-1B positions are subject to an annual cap and a selection process; the rules and associated costs have changed recently, so candidates should review the current requirements before counting on a specific timeline or outcome.
