Which companies sponsor H-1B visas in 2026?

Many major tech companies, consulting firms, and financial institutions sponsor H-1B visas. In the latest USCIS/NFAP data (FY2025), Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google held the top four spots for new (initial) approved petitions for the first time, followed by sponsors such as TCS, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Cognizant, EY, Intel, Nvidia, and JPMorgan; India-based IT services firms continued to decline. For FY2026, USCIS selected 120,141 of 343,981 eligible registrations — about a 35.3% selection rate, the highest since 2020. Our tracker lists companies with confirmed visa sponsorship programs.

What types of work visas do companies sponsor?

Companies typically sponsor H-1B (specialty occupation), L-1 (intracompany transfer), O-1 (extraordinary ability), and TN (NAFTA professionals) visas. The H-1B is the most common for tech workers, while L-1 is used for internal transfers from international offices. Two recent H-1B changes matter for 2026: starting with FY2027 (effective February 27, 2026), USCIS replaced the random lottery with a weighted, wage-based selection where higher Department of Labor wage levels get more entries (Level IV counts as 4 entries down to Level I as 1), and a $100,000 fee from a September 2025 proclamation applies to many new cap-subject petitions, with exemptions for change-of-status and extensions for people already in the US.

How do I find jobs with visa sponsorship?

Our Visa Sponsorship tracker lists companies with confirmed sponsorship programs. You can also filter jobs on our job board by visa sponsorship availability. We recommend applying directly to companies listed here and mentioning your visa requirements early in the process.

Do UK companies sponsor Skilled Worker visas?

Yes, many UK companies sponsor Skilled Worker visas (formerly Tier 2 visas). Major tech employers, financial institutions, and consulting firms in London, Manchester, and other UK cities actively sponsor international talent. Check the UK Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors for official listings.
