  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.

Investment H-1B Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

Which investment firms sponsor the most H-1B visas?

Coinbase sponsors the most, with 53 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by Jefferies (52) and Societe Generale (45). Across the 10 investment firms on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 314 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 typically require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. The candidate must hold that degree or its equivalent through education and relevant work experience. The employer files the petition, covering both the Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor and the I-129 with USCIS. H-1B status also allows dual intent, meaning you can pursue a green card while on the visa.

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 from a top investment firm, begin by applying for roles the company has filed Labor Condition Applications for in the past, as this signals active sponsorship willingness. Once you receive a job offer, your employer initiates the process by filing an LCA with the Department of Labor, followed by an I-129 petition with USCIS. H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap and a lottery process; the selection rules and associated costs have changed recently, so review the current requirements before planning your timeline.
