Don't overlook mid-size companies competing with FAANG for talent
Everyone targets Google, Meta, and Amazon. But mid-size companies (500–5,000 employees) like Databricks, Figma, and Cloudflare are often more aggressive with sponsorship - they're fighting harder for talent, have dedicated immigration teams, and are more willing to sponsor at earlier career stages because every hire matters more.
Understand how stock compensation affects your prevailing wage
Tech comp is heavily equity-weighted, and how RSUs are reported on the LCA matters. If your base salary alone is below prevailing wage and the company relies on equity to bridge the gap, their immigration counsel must document stock compensation correctly. A poorly structured wage calculation is an avoidable RFE.
Remote work policies can complicate your LCA
Your H-1B is tied to a specific work location on the LCA. If you're approved for San Francisco but work from Austin three days a week, that's a compliance issue. Confirm where the LCA will be filed and whether the company handles amended petitions for location changes. Fully remote roles across states create multi-site requirements some employers aren't prepared for.
Startups can sponsor - but evaluate their ability to follow through
Early-stage startups can legally file H-1B petitions, but USCIS scrutinizes their ability to pay prevailing wage by reviewing financials and headcount. Series B+ startups with proven revenue are a safer bet. If considering a seed-stage company, ask whether they've sponsored before and whether they use an experienced immigration attorney.
Use tech's structured hiring cycles to time your strategy
Major tech companies run new grad cohorts starting summer and fall, batching their H-1B filings. Aligning your search with these cycles - applying August through November for the following April filing - gives the smoothest path. Companies filing hundreds of petitions annually (NAICS 5112, 5415) have the logistics down to a science.
Developer tools and infrastructure companies are sponsorship-friendly and growing fast
Companies building for developers - HashiCorp, Vercel, Supabase, Grafana Labs - are scaling rapidly and competing directly with FAANG for engineering talent. They're typically well-funded, understand immigration because their own teams are global, and offer strong sponsorship support. These companies are easier to break into than household-name tech firms and the petition quality is just as strong.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Do tech companies sponsor H-1B more readily than other industries?
Yes. Technology companies account for the largest share of H-1B petitions, and many major tech employers have dedicated immigration teams and streamlined sponsorship processes. The combination of high demand for technical talent and roles that clearly qualify as specialty occupations makes tech one of the most sponsorship-friendly industries.
Is it better to target FAANG companies or mid-size tech companies for sponsorship?
Both have advantages. FAANG and large tech companies file thousands of petitions and have well-established immigration infrastructure, but they're also the most competitive to get hired at. Mid-size and growth-stage tech companies may have fewer applicants competing for sponsorship slots and can sometimes move faster on offers. Many mid-size tech companies actively sponsor - they just get less attention.
Do tech companies still sponsor H-1B after the $100,000 fee increase?
The significant fee increase in 2025 has made H-1B sponsorship more expensive, which may deter some smaller employers. However, major tech companies with strong demand for specialized talent continue to sponsor. For highly skilled roles where the cost of not filling the position exceeds the sponsorship fee, most established tech employers view it as a necessary investment.
Can I get sponsored for a remote tech role?
H-1B visas are location-specific - the employer must list your work location on the Labor Condition Application and comply with prevailing wage requirements for that area. Fully remote roles can be sponsored, but the employer needs to specify your home address as the worksite. Some companies are more willing to navigate this complexity than others.
Do tech startups sponsor H-1B visas?
Many do, particularly venture-backed startups that need specialized engineering or data science talent. The main barriers for startups are the cost (which is significant for a small company) and unfamiliarity with the process. Startups that have previously sponsored or that work with immigration counsel are the best targets. Some startups also use the O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability as an alternative to H-1B.
