Companies That Sponsor the Most H-1B Visas: 2026 Top 50 Ranking

If you're looking for a job that comes with a U.S. visa, one of the fastest paths is finding a company that already sponsors H-1B petitions at scale. The list below ranks the 50 U.S. companies that sponsor the most H-1B visas, pulled directly from the Ellis Visa Sponsors database, which tracks H-1B filings, PERM labor certifications, and green card commitment rates for 180,608+ U.S. employers.

We've ranked the top 50 sponsors by total H-1B filings. Each entry includes what the company does, what kinds of roles they sponsor, real filing data, the green card commitment rate, and recent trends in their hiring.

How we rank H-1B sponsors

Ellis tracks three data points for every U.S. employer that files immigration petitions:

• H-1B Filings: total H-1B petitions filed
• PERM Filings: total Department of Labor PERM labor certification filings (the green card precursor)
• Green Card Commitment %: the ratio of PERM filings to H-1B filings — how much the employer invests in moving sponsored workers toward permanent residence

A note on scope: green card commitment captures only the ratio of PERM filings to H-1B filings. It does not reflect sponsorship through self-petitioned routes like EB-1A or EB-2 NIW, or other pathways that don't require PERM. A lower number on this metric isn't a complete picture of an employer's overall green card sponsorship.

All data comes from USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub and Department of Labor LCA disclosures, refreshed continuously in the Ellis Visa Sponsors database.

How to use this list

• Sort by what matters to you. If you need a job in the next 90 days, H-1B volume probably matters most. If long-term residency matters more, sort by green card commitment.
• Read the company profile. Each entry above links to the full Ellis profile with detailed filings, salaries, and approval data.
• Filter by city. A top sponsor in a city you can't or won't move to doesn't help.
• Look at cap-exempt employers if lottery timing is a concern. Universities and research institutions hire year-round without going through the H-1B lottery. See cap-exempt sponsors.
• Don't sleep on all the options. The top 50 here represent a small slice. The full database has 180,608+ employers, including mid-size firms that often have better recruiter-to-applicant ratios.
