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.

Complete fiscal year Initial approvals Continuing approvals Initial share
FY2024 378 362 51.1%
FY2025 492 552 47.1%

Initial petitions include new employment and new concurrent employment; they are not all first-time hires or cap-subject cases. Continuing petitions cover continuation, changes of employer, amendments and changes with the same employer. These groups follow USCIS Table 2. 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.

What Goldman Sachs and Co LLC's H-1B records tell you

The table separates initial petitions from continuing petitions. Initial approvals include new employment and new concurrent employment; continuing approvals include extensions, amendments and changes of employer. These are petition decisions, not a count of unique workers or open jobs.

Partial coverage: FY2026: October 2025 through June 2026. Use complete fiscal years for year-over-year trends. The approval rate describes decided petitions across the years shown; it does not predict the outcome of your application. Read the H-1B visa guide to understand the route and the employer sponsorship guide for the employer's steps.

Compare other H-1B sponsors

Browse H-1B sponsors in New York 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does Goldman Sachs and Co LLC sponsor H-1B visas for new hires?

USCIS approved 376 initial H-1B petitions for Goldman Sachs and Co LLC in fiscal year 2026 (partial). Initial approvals cover new employment and new concurrent employment. They show historical filing activity, not a promise of sponsorship for a current vacancy.

What is the difference between initial and continuing approvals?

Initial approvals are for new employment or new concurrent employment. Continuing approvals include extensions, amendments and changes of employer.

Does H-1B sponsorship data guarantee a job offer will include sponsorship?

No. Past filings show a company has sponsored workers, not that every role is eligible. Ask the employer directly and confirm the role meets H-1B specialty occupation rules.
