If you’re an international professional dreaming of working in the U.S., knowing which companies sponsor the H-1B visa can be a game changer. The H-1B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in “specialty occupations”—typically roles requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher. Companies that consistently file for H-1B visas show they are open to hiring talent from around the world.

One of the biggest names is Amazon.com Services LLC. In 2025 alone it filed thousands of H-1B petitions, making it the top sponsor of the year. (The Times of India) If you are into cloud computing, e-commerce technology, or data science, Amazon is worth watching.

Next up is Microsoft Corporation—a company that continues to hire international talent for cloud services, AI, software engineering and related roles. It recorded over 5,000 H-1B approvals in 2025. (The Times of India)

Then there’s Google LLC, known for its AI research, search technology, and large-scale software systems. Google’s history of sponsoring H-1B visas makes it a strong target if you have coding or data skills. (Jobs Region)

Apple Inc. and Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook) are also on the list. They sponsor international talent for roles in software, hardware, user-experience design, and more. Apple had over 4,000 approvals in a recent period. (The Times of India)

For those interested in consulting and IT services firms, companies like Infosys Ltd. and Tata Consultancy Services Limited (TCS) remain major sponsors, especially for IT roles and outsourcing projects in the U.S. (Vanguard News)

What This Means for You

If you’re aiming to apply to roles in the U.S., focusing on these companies can increase your chances of finding a sponsor. But keep in mind: sponsorship alone isn’t everything. You also need to match the role they’re hiring for, have the required skills, and be ready to apply during their recruitment cycles.

Here are a few tips:

• Highlight your tech or specialist skill (software dev, data analytics, AI, cloud) since many of these sponsors hire in those areas.

• Tailor your resume to meet the listed requirements and reflect measurable results.

• Mention your willingness to relocate and clarify visa status (that you’ll need H-1B sponsorship).

• Use job boards and company career pages to find open roles where “visa sponsorship” is mentioned.

• Stay updated on policy changes. For example, recent U.S. policy discussions include a proposed $100,000 fee for new H-1B filings. (New York Post)

In short, the top U.S. companies that sponsor H1B visas are those with large global operations and specialist roles. If you focus your search there, build your skills accordingly, and prepare your application well, you could join the ranks of international professionals working in the U.S.
