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.

Visa U S A Inc: initial versus continuing approvals

In FY2025, Visa U S A Inc recorded 75 initial approvals and 316 continuing approvals in the USCIS employer data. Initial petitions made up 19.2% of approvals. Its initial-approval rank was #150 among 1,000 listed employers with FY2025 records. This is a different ranking from the multi-year total shown above.

Complete fiscal year Initial approvals Continuing approvals Initial share
FY2024 64 181 26.1%
FY2025 75 316 19.2%

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 Visa U S A Inc'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 California 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.
