Ranked by approved petitions (new and continuing) in FY2023 to FY2026. Employers are grouped by the name and main location USCIS reports; some companies file under several legal names.
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 Illinois immigrant guide for licensing, driver's licenses and USCIS offices in the state.
