Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Supply Chain Planning
Align your degree to SOC codes
Supply Chain Planning roles map to multiple SOC codes depending on the function. Check your target job's O*NET profile to confirm the degree field your employer will cite on the LCA, then verify your transcript reflects that specialization.
Search LCA filings by occupation code
Use Migrate Mate to filter employer H-1B filing history by supply chain occupation codes. You'll see which companies have certified LCAs for planning roles, giving you a targeted list before you apply.
Request the prevailing wage tier before negotiating
Your employer's LCA locks in a wage level tied to the OFLC Wage Search prevailing wage. Ask HR which wage level they intend to file at before accepting an offer, since Level I or II filings can affect your long-term comp trajectory.
Document cross-functional project scope precisely
USCIS scrutinizes whether supply chain planning roles meet the specialty occupation threshold. Offer letters and job descriptions should specify the analytical tools, forecasting methodologies, and degree-level reasoning required, not just logistics coordination duties.

Find Supply Chain Planning JobsSupply Chain Planning H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Supply Chain Planning jobs qualify as H-1B specialty occupations?
Yes, supply chain planning roles qualify when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as supply chain management, operations research, industrial engineering, or business analytics. USCIS evaluates the specific duties, not just the job title, so the employer's offer letter must clearly describe the analytical and degree-level work involved in the role.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Supply Chain Planning roles?
Manufacturers, large retailers, third-party logistics firms, and technology companies with supply chain operations are among the most active H-1B sponsors for planning roles. You can browse verified employer H-1B filing history for supply chain occupations on Migrate Mate, which filters by role type so you're not sorting through unrelated filings.
How does the DOL prevailing wage apply to Supply Chain Planning positions?
Your employer must certify on the LCA that your wage meets or exceeds the DOL prevailing wage for your SOC code and work location. Supply chain planning roles can fall under operations research analyst, logistician, or industrial engineer codes depending on duties. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the wage levels for your specific role and city before evaluating an offer.
Can I switch to a Supply Chain Planning role on an existing H-1B?
Yes, but your new employer must file an H-1B transfer petition before your start date if they want you to begin work immediately under portability. The new role must still qualify as a specialty occupation, so if you're moving from a technical engineering role to a more generalist planning function, confirm the job description supports the degree requirement before the petition is filed.
What documentation strengthens an H-1B petition for a Supply Chain Planning role?
Strong petitions include an offer letter specifying the forecasting systems, statistical methods, and analytical frameworks the role requires, along with an educational evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S. USCIS has issued RFEs for planning roles where job descriptions emphasized coordination rather than specialized analysis, so precision in the duties language matters significantly.
