How to use this list
A company that sponsors many H-1B workers is more likely to support sponsorship for a new hire, but every role is decided separately. Before you apply, check that the job is a specialty occupation, ask the employer about sponsorship directly, and remember that most new H-1B hires need to be selected in the wage-weighted lottery. See the Connecticut immigrant guide for licensing, driver's licenses and USCIS offices in the state.
Frequently asked questions
Which company sponsors the most H-1B visas in Connecticut?
Yale University had the most approved H-1B petitions among employers based in Connecticut in FY2023 to FY2026, with 855 approvals.
Does this include universities and hospitals?
Yes. Universities, research institutes and hospitals often sponsor H-1B workers, and many are cap-exempt, meaning they can hire without the annual lottery.
