H-1B Sponsor Database

Search verified employer data from the Department of Labor. Filter by company, industry, and location.

Wisa maintains a comprehensive database of H-1B visa sponsors built from publicly available Department of Labor (DOL) data. Every employer in our database has filed at least one Labor Condition Application, which is the first required step in the H-1B sponsorship process. This data is updated regularly to reflect the most current filings.

Wisa's H-1B sponsor database tracks 45,000+ verified employers with filing data from the U.S. Department of Labor.

Search by company name, job category, state, and city. Every employer entry includes filing count, most recent filing year, and a composite sponsor score based on volume, recency, and consistency.

Database Insights and Trends

Wisa's database reveals significant patterns in H-1B sponsorship. The top 100 sponsors account for approximately 40% of all filings, while the remaining 44,900+ employers each file between 1 and 50 petitions annually. This long tail of mid-size and small sponsors represents significant opportunity for candidates willing to look beyond the biggest names.

Filing activity shows clear seasonal patterns tied to the H-1B lottery cycle. New LCA filings peak in January through March as employers prepare for the April registration period. Transfer filings are more evenly distributed throughout the year since they are not cap-subject.

Real DOL Filing Examples

  • Infosys — Technology Lead, Plano, TX — $118,000/year (FY2024 LCA)
  • Amazon — Data Engineer II, Arlington, VA — $168,500/year (FY2024 LCA)
  • Cognizant — Senior Associate, Charlotte, NC — $105,000/year (FY2024 LCA)

What Data Does the H-1B Sponsor Database Include?

Our database aggregates information from multiple government sources to give you a complete picture of each employer's sponsorship activity:

  • Company name and location: The employer's legal name and primary office location as listed on their LCA filings.
  • Job category: The occupational category for which the employer has filed H-1B petitions, mapped to common job functions like Software Engineering, Data Science, Finance, and Consulting.
  • Filing count: The total number of H-1B Labor Condition Applications the employer has filed over multiple years.
  • Most recent filing year: When the employer last filed an LCA, indicating whether they are currently active in sponsorship.
  • Sponsor score: A composite metric calculated by Wisa that factors in filing volume, recency, and consistency to help you quickly assess an employer's sponsorship track record.

How to Use the Database Effectively

The most effective way to use Wisa's sponsor database depends on where you are in your job search:

  • Exploring your options: Start by searching your job category (e.g., "Software Engineering" or "Data Science") to see the full landscape of sponsors in your field. Sort by sponsor score to see the most active employers first.
  • Targeting specific companies: If you have a target list of employers, search for each company by name to see their H-1B filing history. This helps you confirm whether sponsorship is realistic before investing time in applications.
  • Location-based search: Filter by state or city to find sponsors in your preferred geography. This is especially useful if you have location constraints due to family, networking, or lifestyle preferences.

Data Sources and Accuracy

All data in Wisa's database comes from official U.S. government sources:

  • DOL OFLC: The Office of Foreign Labor Certification publishes all Labor Condition Applications filed by employers. This is the primary data source for employer filing history.
  • USCIS: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services publishes H-1B approval and denial data, which supplements the LCA filing information.
  • PERM data: For employers who sponsor green cards, the DOL PERM filing data shows permanent labor certification applications.

Wisa processes and normalizes this data to resolve variations in company names, merge duplicate entries, and calculate meaningful metrics like the sponsor score.

Beyond H-1B: PERM and Green Card Data

Many employers that sponsor H-1B visas also sponsor green cards through the PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process. Wisa tracks PERM filings alongside H-1B data, so you can evaluate an employer's willingness to support long-term immigration goals — not just temporary work visas.

What does the sponsor score mean?

The sponsor score is a composite metric that evaluates an employer's H-1B sponsorship track record. It factors in the total number of filings, how recently the employer has filed, and the consistency of their filing history over time. A higher score indicates a more active and reliable sponsor.

Can I see which specific job titles a company has sponsored?

Wisa shows the job categories that each employer has sponsored H-1B workers for. For more detailed job title information, you can reference the DOL's raw LCA disclosure data, which lists the specific SOC occupation codes and job titles for each filing.
