H-1B sponsorship has grown steadily over the past decade, with annual petition volumes exceeding 470,000 registrations in FY2025 for just 85,000 available slots. Technology companies dominate filings, but sponsorship has expanded significantly into healthcare, finance, and consulting. The shift to remote work has also broadened geographic diversity — companies in states like Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina are filing at record rates alongside traditional hubs in California, Washington, and New York.
Mid-size employers (100-1,000 employees) represent a growing share of new sponsors, as competition for talent drives more companies to tap the international workforce. These companies often offer less competition for internal H-1B slots compared to the largest tech firms.
Not all sponsors are equal. When evaluating a potential employer, consider these factors:
Technology leads H-1B sponsorship by a significant margin. According to DOL Labor Condition Application (LCA) data, roughly 65% of all H-1B filings come from the tech sector, including software engineering, data science, and IT roles. Other active industries include:
California, Texas, New York, New Jersey, and Washington are the top five states for H-1B filings. California alone accounts for roughly 20% of all H-1B petitions filed nationally. Major metro areas like the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, Seattle, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area have the highest concentration of sponsors.
Wisa's database lets you search by company name, job category, state, and city. Every result includes the employer's filing count, most recent filing year, and sponsor score — a composite metric that factors in filing volume, recency, and consistency. Start by searching your job category to see which companies are actively sponsoring in your field.

Search H-1B Sponsors on Wisa →Approximately 30,000 to 40,000 unique employers file H-1B Labor Condition Applications each year. However, the top 100 sponsors account for a disproportionate share of total filings. Most sponsors file between 1 and 10 petitions per year.
Yes. There is no minimum company size requirement for H-1B sponsorship. Even a one-person startup can sponsor an H-1B worker, provided the role qualifies as a specialty occupation and the employer can pay the prevailing wage. Small companies do face more scrutiny from USCIS to verify the role is legitimate.
Check the company's H-1B filing history on Wisa. If they have filed petitions in recent years, they have an established process. You can also ask directly during interviews — companies that sponsor will typically mention it in job postings or confirm during the hiring process.
The annual H-1B cap is 65,000 regular visas plus 20,000 for U.S. master's degree holders. In FY2025, USCIS received over 470,000 registrations for these 85,000 slots. Cap-exempt employers — including universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research entities — are not subject to this limit.
