Source: USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (FY2023 to FY2026). Partial coverage: FY2026: October 2025 through June 2026. FY2023 uses a legacy export and is excluded from the comparable-year analysis. Counts are petitions decided in each federal fiscal year (October 1 to September 30), grouped by the employer name USCIS reports. "Initial" includes new employment and new concurrent employment; "continuing" includes extensions, changes of employer, amendments and changes with the same employer. Companies that file under several legal names can appear more than once.

A higher initial share describes the mix of approved filings, not the probability of getting a job or visa. Compare the initial-approval leaders and complete-year trends.

Compare other H-1B sponsors

Browse H-1B sponsors in Michigan to compare employers based in the same state. The H-1B sponsor company list ranks employers using the same USCIS dataset. Before applying for a role, ask whether the employer will sponsor a new petition or a change of employer, and whether the position is eligible. Past approvals do not guarantee sponsorship for a particular job.
