Does UPMC Medical Education sponsor H-1B visas?

In FY2025, UPMC Medical Education recorded 60 initial approvals and 49 continuing approvals in the USCIS employer data. Initial petitions made up 55% of approvals. Its initial-approval rank was #202 among 1,000 listed employers with FY2025 records. This is a different ranking from the multi-year total shown above.

From FY2024 to FY2025, initial approvals moved from 57 to 60 (+5.3%); continuing approvals moved from 43 to 49 (+14%). A percentage change from a zero baseline is not comparable.

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.

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.
