Key Takeaways
Tech Dominates
The top 10 is dominated by technology companies and IT consulting firms. Amazon leads with 45,818 filings, followed by Cognizant and TCS — the two largest IT outsourcing firms.
The Wage Gap
There is a significant wage gap between direct employers and consulting firms. Companies like Google, Apple, and Meta typically file at higher wage levels, while consulting/staffing firms tend toward Level I-II wages. Under the new FY2027 weighted lottery, this wage gap directly translates to different selection odds.
Filing Volume ≠ Visa Usage
An LCA filing does not guarantee an H-1B petition was filed, much less approved. Large employers file many LCAs for workforce planning purposes. The actual number of H-1B workers is typically much lower than the filing count.
