Employers with Most H-1B Filings

This ranking of "employers with most h-1b filings" is computed directly from the underlying PlainEmployers dataset — no editorial cherry-picking, no paid placements. 50 employers currently qualify for this ranking based on our minimum-filing and minimum-record thresholds. At position one, Amazon.com Services LLC (WA) leads the list with a filings of 5,757, a figure pulled directly from the most recent federal or state disclosure rather than corporate self-reporting. The underlying source — Department of Labor, H-1B Labor Condition Applications — is a legally mandated filing, which is why we treat it as the authoritative signal rather than survey data or crowd-sourced reviews.

This ranking shows which employers file the most H-1B visa petitions. Large IT consulting firms, technology companies, and major corporations dominate this list. High filing volumes indicate heavy reliance on international talent, often for technology, engineering, and specialized business roles. The H-1B program has an annual cap of 85,000 new visas, making it highly competitive. Across the 50 employers on this specific list, the median filings sits at approximately 737, so a visitor comparing an individual employer's profile page against this ranking can quickly see whether they're near the top of the list, the middle, or just above the qualifying threshold. That context matters: a rank of 40 on a list of 50 means something very different from a rank of 40 on a list of 2,000, and the ranking page surfaces both the position and the value so readers can judge significance for themselves.

Every row links back to an individual employer profile with the full underlying records — H-1B filing dates and disclosed salaries by job title, OSHA DART rates with total injury counts, WARN Act notices with dates and affected headcount. That drill-down is deliberate: a ranking number in isolation doesn't tell a jobseeker, reporter, or compliance researcher what they need to know, but combined with the per-employer disclosure trail it becomes actionable. PlainEmployers re-runs these rankings on a recurring ETL schedule, so newly filed federal disclosures and state WARN notices update the leaderboard without manual intervention, and retired records fall off as they age beyond the relevance window. Cross-reference this ranking with the industry and metro pages to see whether the pattern is concentrated in specific sectors or geographies.
