Company With Most H-1B Visa: Data has come out about how many H-1B visas were approved to which tech company in 2024. According to USCIS, out of 130,000 H-1B visas between April and September 2024, 24,766 visas were given to companies of Indian origin. Here is the list of top companies in this case.
H-1B Visa: The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) under the Donald Trump administration is making several changes to the H-1B visa program. This visa allows US employers to hire foreign workers for positions requiring specific skills. Indians are among the biggest beneficiaries of the H-1B visa program. According to USCIS data, Indian-origin tech companies secured a fifth of all H-1B visas issued by the US in 2024. The agency further said that out of 130,000 H-1B visas between April and September 2024, 24,766 visas were given to companies of Indian origin.
According to the data, Infosys got 8,140 visas and TCS got 5,274 visas approved. HCL America got 2,953 and Wipro got 1,634 visas. Tech Mahindra was issued 1,199 visas. However, these companies could not reach the top in terms of H-1B visa approval. Jeff Bezos-led Amazon was approved 9,265 H-1B visas.
The list of top companies based on H-1B sponsorship approvals in 2024 is as follows-
- Amazon Com Services LLC – 9,265 visa approvals
- Infosys Limited – 8,140 visa approvals
- Cognizant Technology Solutions – 6,321 visa approvals

What does ‘approved beneficiary’ mean for H-1B visa?
On the USCIS portal, ‘Approved Beneficiaries’ counts the number of specific individuals (not petitions) who have been approved to work in the US under the H-1B programme through an employer’s petition. The approval can be for ‘initial employment’ (new H-1B employees entering the programme) or ‘continued employment’ (extension or modification for existing H-1B employees).
However, the data does not indicate whether the beneficiaries actually started work or not. It also does not include multiple petitions filed for the same beneficiary by different employers.
What did the Pew Research Centre report say?
The Pew Research Centre, in its report ‘What we know about the US H-1B visa programme’ (published on March 4, 2025), said that of the H-1B workers whose applications were approved in FY 2023, 73 per cent were born in India. Pew obtained this information through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request to USCIS, receiving data through Sept. 20, 2024, including admissions by country of birth from FY 2000 through FY 2023.
