Within Deloitte's M&A Offering, we have strategy and diligence specialists who focus on the value creation potential of each transaction and its inherent operational risks.

Each service has a focus across an organization's people, process, applications, infrastructure and software, and incorporates unique industry considerations. Product tech diligence helps our clients by reviewing proprietary technology products, cyber security, initial carve out/standup requirements and initial integration/separation planning requirements.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Mergers And Acquisitions
Frame your degree for specialty occupation
M&A work demands direct degree-to-role alignment for H-1B approval. A finance, economics, or accounting degree strengthens your petition. If your degree is in a tangentially related field, gather coursework transcripts that show quantitative finance or valuation training.
Target firms with consistent LCA filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter Labor Condition Applications by SOC code 13-2051 (Financial Analysts) or 13-1111 (Management Analysts). Firms with recurring LCA filings for M&A titles have established sponsorship workflows and are less likely to balk at the process.
Search M&A roles on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters M&A positions by verified H-1B sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which employers will file. Search by role title and filter for active LCA filings to surface firms that have sponsored similar positions recently.
Clarify employer-paid filing fee obligations early
M&A employers, especially banks and advisory firms, are accustomed to covering I-129 filing fees. USCIS prohibits H-1B workers from paying certain fees themselves. Confirm in writing during the offer stage that the firm will cover required government fees before you accept.
Use the prevailing wage tier to assess your offer
DOL sets four prevailing wage levels for each occupation and metro area. The LCA your employer files must certify your salary meets at least Level I. Run your job title and location through the OFLC Wage Search before accepting an offer to verify the filed wage is compliant.
H-1B Visa Mergers And Acquisitions: Frequently Asked Questions
Do M&A roles qualify as H-1B specialty occupations?
Yes. M&A analyst, associate, and VP roles consistently qualify because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or a closely related field. USCIS evaluates the specific duties listed in your I-129 petition, so your employer's job description should explicitly state the degree requirement rather than listing it as preferred.
Which employers most commonly sponsor H-1B visas for M&A positions?
Investment banks, Big Four accounting and advisory firms, boutique M&A advisory shops, and corporate development teams at large public companies all file H-1B petitions for M&A roles. You can identify which specific employers have active LCA filings for similar titles using the OFLC Wage Search or by browsing verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate.
Can I switch M&A employers on an H-1B without restarting the process?
Yes, under H-1B portability rules you can start working for a new M&A employer as soon as they file an I-129 petition on your behalf, provided your previous H-1B was approved and you haven't been out of status. You don't need to wait for the new petition to be approved, but the new employer must file before your current authorization lapses.
How does the H-1B prevailing wage requirement affect M&A compensation structures?
Your employer's LCA must certify your salary meets DOL prevailing wage for the relevant M&A occupation and metro area. Performance bonuses, carried interest, and deal fees typically don't count toward satisfying the prevailing wage floor. If your base salary falls below the certified wage level, the LCA won't pass DOL review, regardless of total compensation expectations.
What happens to my H-1B status if a deal closes and my M&A role is eliminated?
If your employer terminates your position, you enter a 60-day grace period during which you can find a new sponsoring employer and have them file an H-1B transfer. M&A roles at banks and advisory firms are sometimes affected by post-merger restructuring, so it's worth maintaining relationships with firms that have active LCA filing histories in case you need to move quickly.
