H-1B filing data

Every job page, and the job cards of people who say they need sponsorship, show how many H-1B applications the employer had certified by the U.S. Department of Labor. This page explains where that number comes from and how far it can be trusted.

In effect from 18 September 2026.

1. Where it comes from

Before an employer can petition for an H-1B worker, it must file a Labor Condition Application with the U.S. Department of Labor, stating the job, the worksite and the wage. The Department publishes these filings as public disclosure data. GoMatchToApply counts the certified H-1B applications in those files for each employer.

The current figures cover applications decided from October 2025 to June 2026, imported on 2026-09-18. The source files are published at dol.gov.

The same filter is a checkbox under Filters → Terms on the Job Search page.

On Premium, if your profile says you need sponsorship, you can also get an email when an employer with filing history posts a role matching your target titles. Switch it on or off under Settings → Email notifications.

2. What the number does not mean

  • A certified application is not a visa and not an approved petition. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services decides petitions separately.
  • Past filings do not mean the employer will sponsor this role, or anyone. Employers decide role by role, and their plans change.
  • No count does not mean the employer has never sponsored. It may file under a name GoMatchToApply could not match to the posting, and names that several different employers share are left out rather than guessed.
  • Wages shown are the medians of what the employer stated on its filings, not an offer.

3. Not immigration advice

GoMatchToApply is not a law firm and gives no immigration or legal advice. It cannot tell you whether you qualify for a visa, how likely a petition is to succeed, or what it will cost. For that, speak to an immigration attorney or an accredited representative, and see USCIS for current rules and fees, which change.

4. Fair hiring

The filter and the counts are for your own search. GoMatchToApply does not tell employers anything about your citizenship or visa status unless you save an answer and approve an application that asks for it, and it offers employers no way to search for candidates by either.
