✦ About This Tool

What Is the H-1B Employer Finder?

The visaora.io H-1B Sponsoring Employers Finder is a free, searchable database of every U.S. company that has successfully sponsored H-1B visas, sourced directly from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub for FY2025. No paywalls, no subscriptions — instant access to verified government data.

In 2026, the H-1B landscape has changed significantly. USCIS introduced a wage-weighted lottery system in FY2026, meaning job seekers with higher-salary offers now have better odds of selection. The annual registration cap was reached again for FY2027, with roughly 344,000 registrations filed — down 29.6% from FY2025 due to the new beneficiary-centric rule that eliminated duplicate entries. The selection rate improved to approximately 35% in FY2026, up from 29% the prior year.

This tool eliminates the guesswork of your U.S. job search. Instead of applying blindly, you can instantly see which employers have a proven, documented history of H-1B sponsorship — and how many workers they approved in FY2025.

⚠️ 2026 Wage-Weighted Lottery — What You Need to Know

Under new USCIS rules effective FY2026, H-1B selection is now weighted by salary level. Wage Level III and IV roles have higher selection probability than Level I. When negotiating your offer, aim for Wage Level II or above to maximize your lottery odds. The $100,000 supplemental sponsorship fee introduced in September 2025 also applies to certain new petitions — confirm with your employer before applying.

✦ Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

All employer data is sourced from the official USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub and the U.S. Department of Labor LCA Disclosure Data for FY2025. Approval numbers include new petitions, renewals, transfers, and cap-exempt filings. Always verify current figures at uscis.gov before making application decisions.

USCIS introduced two major changes. First, the beneficiary-centric selection rule (2024) means each worker appears only once in the lottery regardless of how many employers register them — this dropped total FY2026 registrations by 29.6% to 344,000. Second, a wage-weighted selection system now gives higher-salary roles better selection odds. The FY2026 selection rate improved to about 35%, up from 29% in FY2025.

A supplemental $100,000 fee was introduced for certain H-1B petitions submitted after September 21, 2025. This applies to employers whose workforce has 50% or more H-1B or L-1 workers, and for petitions where the beneficiary is outside the United States. It does not apply to most renewals or transfers for workers already in the U.S. Always confirm with your employer or immigration attorney whether this fee applies to your specific case.

Universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research institutions are cap-exempt. This means their H-1B petitions are not subject to the annual 85,000 cap and do not require lottery selection. Petitions can be filed at any time of year. If you work in academia, medical research, or public health, targeting cap-exempt employers is a major strategic advantage in 2026.

After filtering results, click “Download CSV” to export a spreadsheet of matching employers. Open it in Excel or Google Sheets, sort by FY2025 approvals or average salary, and create columns for application date, contact person, job title, and status. Many users combine this data with LinkedIn searches to identify open roles and hiring managers at confirmed H-1B sponsors, making their job search significantly more targeted and efficient.
