H1B Visa Sponsor Software Engineer Jobs

Major sponsors include Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and large consulting firms like Infosys, TCS, and Cognizant. Mid-size companies like Stripe, Databricks, and Snowflake also regularly sponsor software engineers.

Software engineering roles have among the highest H1B approval rates, typically above 90% for major tech employers. The role qualifies as a specialty occupation, and computer-related positions account for roughly 65% of all H1B approvals.

H1B software engineer salaries typically range from $100k for junior roles to $250k+ for senior positions at top companies. Prevailing wage requirements mean H1B salaries are often competitive with or above market rates.

The employer files a Labor Condition Application (LCA), then submits the H1B petition to USCIS. The annual cap lottery is in March, with an October start date. Cap-exempt employers (universities, research labs) can file year-round.
