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 retail companies sponsor the most green cards?
Safeway sponsors the most, with 201 Green Card approvals in the last year, followed by Nordstrom (101) and Chewy (91). Across the 10 retail companies on this list, Migrate Mate tracks 549 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 employment requires an employer willing to file a PERM labor certification with the Department of Labor, followed by an immigrant petition with USCIS. EB-3 skilled worker positions require at least two years of experience; EB-2 requires an advanced degree or demonstrated exceptional ability. Per-country limits mean candidates born in India or China face longer priority date backlogs than those born elsewhere.
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?
Securing green card sponsorship starts with finding a retail employer that has a history of filing PERM labor certifications and immigrant petitions. Once you have a job offer in a qualifying role, the employer files a PERM application with the Department of Labor to test the labor market, then submits an I-140 immigrant petition to USCIS. After approval, you apply for the green card itself, though wait times depend on your country of birth and the employment-based preference category.
