How do I find companies that sponsor H-1B visas?

Use the GreenCardClock Sponsor Finder to search 50,000+ employers that have filed H-1B Labor Condition Applications (LCAs). Filter by industry, state, and minimum sponsorship score to find companies that actively sponsor visas.

Can I see which companies are hiring new H-1B workers vs extending existing ones?

Yes. The Sponsor Finder shows a petition type breakdown (new employment, continuation, change of employer, and amended petitions), so you can identify companies actively hiring vs. just extending existing workers.

Find Companies That Sponsor H-1B Visas

Search employers by industry and location. See sponsorship scores, wages, red flags, and petition patterns. Powered by real DOL filing data.

Generic job boards rarely tell you whether an employer will sponsor an H-1B, let alone whether they do it well. The Sponsor Finder filters the entire DOL LCA dataset down to companies with a concrete H-1B filing history, so you can focus your search on employers who have actually walked through the process before.

Filter options: By industry (tech, finance, healthcare, research, consulting, others), by worksite state, by petition type and by minimum sponsorship score.
Sponsorship score: A heuristic combining filing volume, median offered wage, the number of different roles filed for and the number of worksite states. Higher scores indicate a steadier, more mature sponsorship program.
Red flags we surface: Most filings at the lowest prevailing wage level, filings that are mostly extensions for existing staff, or high filing volume with a low sponsorship score. All worth a closer look before accepting an offer.

Sort By

Shows up to 15 employers. All filters are optional. "Recently active" ranks by filings in the most recent 12 months of published data, so companies that filed heavily years ago but have since stopped do not crowd out the ones hiring now. Set Petition Type to "New employment" to see only employers filing for people they are hiring, rather than extensions for staff they already have.

How to Find H-1B Visa Sponsors

Every company that hires an H-1B worker must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor. The Sponsor Finder uses this public data, the LCA disclosure files DOL OFLC publishes each quarter, to help you find companies with a history of H-1B filings.

What the sponsorship score means: Each employer gets a score from 0-100 based on filing volume (how many petitions), median offered wage, role diversity (variety of positions), and geographic presence. Higher scores suggest more established sponsorship programs.

Red flags to watch for: Some employers have patterns that may indicate less favorable sponsorship conditions, such as majority entry-level wages, high rates of extending existing workers rather than hiring new ones, or low scores despite high filing volumes.

Next steps: Once you find a promising sponsor, click their profile for detailed analytics, check salary data on the Salary Explorer, or search for open positions directly on LinkedIn or Indeed.

Understanding H-1B Sponsorship Data

Knowing which employers actively sponsor H-1B visas helps you target your job search and evaluate offers more effectively.

What is H-1B Sponsorship?

Employers must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor and then petition USCIS for each H-1B worker. The number and pattern of filings indicates how committed an employer is to visa sponsorship.

Red Flag Detection

Our analysis flags three patterns worth a closer look: most filings at the Level I (entry level) prevailing wage, filings that are mostly extensions for staff already employed, and high filing volume with a low sponsorship score. These are signals, not disqualifications.

Sponsorship Score

The score factors in total filing volume, median offered wage, role diversity and geographic diversity. A higher score suggests a more established and reliable sponsorship track record.

How to Use This Data

Search for companies you are considering, compare their sponsorship patterns, and look at wage ranges for your role. This data helps you ask better questions during interviews and negotiate from an informed position.
