H-1B sponsors 2026: top 30 by certified cases, FY2026 to June 30

The Department of Labor certified 417,721 H-1B cases from 51,763 employers between October 1, 2025 and June 30, 2026, the first nine months of fiscal year 2026. Amazon.com Services LLC filed the most, with 13,711. A case here is a certified labor condition application: the filing an employer makes with the Department of Labor before it can petition for an H-1B worker. A case is not a visa, and one case can cover several positions.

The top 30 H-1B sponsors of fiscal 2026 so far

State is the employer's own state as filed, not where the job is. Median offered wage is the middle of the yearly wages these cases offer, taken from the low end of the wage range on each filing. The last column is the employer's rank in the same nine months of fiscal 2025.

What changed since last year

In the same months of fiscal 2025, October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, the Department of Labor certified 449,242 H-1B cases from 54,092 employers. So this year has fewer cases and fewer employers. Positions went the other way: 835,406 requested this year against 731,933.

• NVIDIA Corporation climbed the most of the top 30. It went from 28th to 15th, and from 1,402 cases to 2,424.
• Tesla, Inc. entered the top 10. It moved from 17th to 10th, with 2,809 cases against 2,282.
• Google LLC is second. It ranked 4th a year earlier, with 7,339 cases against 7,789.
• Apple Inc. rose from 8th to 4th. Its cases went from 4,786 to 5,619.
• Tata Consultancy Services Limited filed less than half as many as a year earlier. 2,892 cases against 6,522, and a move from 6th to 9th.
• Ernst & Young U.S. LLP and Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp both fell back. Ernst & Young went from 8,411 cases to 5,275, Cognizant from 8,577 to 5,767.
• IBM Corporation dropped from 15th to 28th. 1,230 cases against 2,443.
• Amazon Data Services, Inc and PayPal, Inc. joined the top 30. They ranked 41st and 39th a year earlier.

One employer in this year's top 100 had no certified H-1B case at all in the same months of fiscal 2025: TT Commerce & Global Services LLC of Culver City, California, now 27th with 1,331 cases.

Where the jobs are

By worksite state, the place the job is, California has the most certified cases: 82,020. Texas follows with 61,776, then New York with 35,960, Washington with 27,843 and New Jersey with 18,450. Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia, Massachusetts and Florida complete the top ten, from 17,459 down to 13,094. The count uses each case's first worksite, and 471 cases name none.

By job title as filed, Software Engineer leads with 21,625 cases, then Software Developer with 12,473 and Senior Software Engineer with 5,256. Assistant Professor is fourth, with 4,788 cases, ahead of Data Engineer with 3,562. Grouped by occupation code instead of title, Software Developers account for 125,127 cases, and the next group, Information Technology Project Managers, for 30,501.

How to read these numbers

The cases come from the OFLC performance data that the Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification publishes, in its labor condition application disclosure file for fiscal 2026 through the third quarter. Fiscal 2026 began on October 1, 2025, and the newest decision in the file is dated June 30, 2026.

Certified means the department approved the application. The file also marks some cases as certified and later withdrawn, and those count as certified here. This year 6,996 H-1B cases were withdrawn and 2,235 denied; neither is in the totals. E-3 Australian and H-1B1 Chile and Singapore cases sit in the same file and are left out, as are PERM cases.

Employer names are as filed. One company can file under several names and tax numbers, and 28 of the top 30 appear under more than one spelling. Amazon is the clearest case: Amazon.com Services LLC, Amazon Web Services, Inc., Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. and Amazon Data Services, Inc are four separate filers in this top 30.

Positions are the number of workers each case asks for. Grandison Management, Inc. filed 1,978 cases for 79,120 positions. Offered wage is the wage the employer writes on the application, turned into a yearly figure: an hourly wage times 2,080 hours, a weekly one times 52. Job titles are the employer's own, so Ernst & Young's most common title carries a code from its filings.

Cases were decided unevenly through the year. October 2025 has 1,384 certified cases, and May 2026 has 77,444.

The H-1B and PERM list has each employer in this table, among 175,300 in all.
