Sık sorulan sorular

How can I find which companies sponsor H-1B?

DOL's LCA database is public. Free tools like H1BGrader.com, MyVisaJobs.com, and the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub let you search by company, industry, salary range, and approval rate.

Which companies sponsor the most H-1B visas?

Amazon (15,000+), Google (12,000+), Microsoft (10,000+), Meta (8,000+), Infosys (8,000+), TCS (7,000+), Cognizant (6,000+), Apple (5,000+), Deloitte (5,000+).

What is the approval rate for top H-1B sponsors?

FAANG companies typically 95-97%. Indian IT services (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) approximately 80-85%. Consulting firms 88-92%.

How does OBBBA affect H-1B sponsorship?

The $100K fee for overseas applicants and wage-based lottery shift sponsorship toward higher-salary roles. Companies are increasingly reluctant to sponsor entry-level overseas hires.

Should I target consulting companies for H-1B?

Indian IT services (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) have lower approval rates and lower salaries but file many petitions - good stepping stones. FAANG companies offer higher salaries and approval rates but more selective hiring.

Can companies require me to pay H-1B fees?

No. Employers must pay the ACWIA fee, fraud fee, public law fee, and OBBBA $100K fee (for overseas). Premium processing can be paid by you. Some legal fees can be split, but base petition fees cannot.
