  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, 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.

Manufacturing H-1B Sponsors: Frequently Asked Questions

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

Cummins sponsors the most, with 196 H-1B approvals in the last year, followed by KLA (107) and Eaton (92). Across the 10 manufacturing companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 659 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 from a U.S. employer in a specialty occupation, defined as a role that 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 the worker's behalf. Candidates who already hold a U.S. master's degree or higher enter a separate, smaller pool in the annual selection process.

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 targeting employers with a documented H-1B filing history, since willingness to sponsor is the first practical filter. Once you receive a job offer, your employer files a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, then submits an I-129 petition to USCIS on your behalf. Selection is subject to an annual cap, and the rules governing how petitions are selected have changed recently, so candidates should review the current USCIS guidance before planning their timeline.
