Search H-1B Jobs by Industry in Oregon
Tips for Finding H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in Oregon
Target Intel and the Silicon Forest ecosystem
Intel is Oregon's single largest H-1B sponsor, with its Hillsboro campus driving thousands of petitions annually. Companies supplying to or partnering with Intel, including semiconductor equipment and materials firms, follow similar sponsorship patterns and are worth targeting specifically.
Look beyond Portland for sponsorship opportunities
Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Corvallis all have significant employer density outside Portland's city limits. Oregon State University and HP also sponsor H-1B workers in Corvallis, making the Willamette Valley more active than most job seekers expect.
Search by industry, not just company size
Oregon's H-1B filings are concentrated in technology, healthcare, engineering, and higher education. Browsing Migrate Mate by industry lets you filter sponsoring employers in Oregon across these sectors without wading through roles that won't support a petition.
Review DOL LCA disclosure data for Oregon employers
The Department of Labor publishes certified Labor Condition Applications by employer and worksite. Searching flag.dol.gov for Oregon worksites reveals which companies have recently filed LCAs, a reliable indicator that they actively sponsor H-1B workers.
Factor in Oregon's healthcare system as a sponsorship source
Oregon Health and Science University, Providence Health, and Legacy Health all sponsor H-1B visas for physicians, researchers, and clinical roles. Healthcare is one of Oregon's most consistent sponsoring sectors outside of technology.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsoring employers
Finding H-1B sponsors in Oregon manually is time-consuming. Migrate Mate aggregates roles from employers with verified H-1B sponsorship histories, so you can search Oregon-based positions knowing sponsorship is already part of the equation.

Get Access To All JobsH-1B Jobs in Oregon: Frequently Asked Questions
Which industries in Oregon sponsor the most H-1B visas?
Technology and semiconductor manufacturing lead H-1B visa sponsorship in Oregon by a significant margin, driven largely by Intel's Hillsboro operations and supporting firms in the Silicon Forest. Healthcare and life sciences, higher education, and engineering services round out the top sponsoring sectors. Portland's growing software and cloud infrastructure industry also contributes a steady share of petitions.
Which cities in Oregon have the most H-1B sponsorship jobs?
Hillsboro and Beaverton together account for a large share of Oregon's H-1B activity due to Intel's campus presence and the surrounding tech cluster. Portland is the next most active city, with sponsorship concentrated in software, healthcare, and professional services. Corvallis sees consistent activity through Oregon State University and HP's operations there.
What types of roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in Oregon?
Roles that typically qualify are those requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field directly related to the job. In Oregon, this includes software engineers, semiconductor process engineers, data scientists, electrical engineers, clinical researchers, and university faculty. Positions where any general degree suffices, regardless of field, are less likely to meet the specialty occupation standard.
How do I find H-1B sponsorship jobs in Oregon?
Start by identifying Oregon employers with a track record of H-1B filings through DOL LCA disclosure data at flag.dol.gov. Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for H-1B sponsoring employers in Oregon, filtering by location and industry so you're only seeing roles where sponsorship is a realistic outcome. Targeting companies with established immigration programs, such as Intel, OHSU, and Oregon's mid-size tech firms, improves your chances significantly.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B jobs in Oregon?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
