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 South Carolina immigrant guide for licensing, driver's licenses and USCIS offices in the state.

Frequently asked questions

LPL Financial LLC had the most approved H-1B petitions among employers based in South Carolina in FY2023 to FY2026, with 329 approvals.
