H1B Visa Sponsor Lookup (US & UK Sponsor Licence, No Login)

Check whether a company sponsors visas, for which jobs, at what level and at what pay: type company names or domains and get one H1B sponsor profile per company from official US Department of Labor H-1B, E-3 and PERM disclosure data plus the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. No login, no API key.

• Job seekers: shortlist employers that actually sponsor this kind of role, and see the wage they filed, before you apply.
• Immigration law firms: see a prospective client's filing history, certified and denied counts and typical offered wages per title.
• Recruiters and global-mobility teams: find employers that sponsor the roles you place, and benchmark offers against real filings.
• Relocation services: qualify leads. A company that files hundreds of H-1Bs or holds an A-rated UK licence needs your help.
• Job boards: add a "visa sponsor" badge and wage evidence to listings, or score live openings with jobs mode.

Quick start

Paste this into the JSON tab of the input and click Start:

{"companies": ["Google", "Amazon", "Infosys", "Deloitte", "microsoft.com"]}

You get 5 employer profiles, usually in under 20 seconds, including the live UK register download. Names (Tata Consultancy Services) and domains (microsoft.com) both work. Lookups use an index that ships with the Actor, so no proxies or logins are needed.

What data can I get?

Employers mode (the default) returns one profile per company:

Salary benchmark. Add benchmarkTitles (for example ["Software Engineer", "Data Scientist"]) and topJobTitles keeps only the employer's filed titles similar to yours, each tagged with the benchmark it matched. The Salary benchmark view shows one row per employer and title, ready to compare across companies. topJobTitle stays the employer's most-filed title.

Jobs mode ("mode": "jobs") pulls a company's live openings from its Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Personio or Teamtailor board (use board names or URLs, such as airbnb or https://jobs.lever.co/spotify) and adds to each job:

• sponsorScore (0-100) and evidence: how much the filing record shows for this job's title, employer and country, in one plain sentence such as "Certified 3 H-1B/E-3 LCAs for titles like "Data Engineer" in FY2024–FY2026, 67% at level III. Employer total: 150 certified LCAs (67 in FY2026) and 31 certified PERM cases."
• sponsorSignal (strong, some, none) and sponsorReason.
• similarFiledTitle, similarTitleMedianWage and similarTitleWageLevelMix: the employer's most-filed similar title, its median wage and the level mix of similar filings.
• ukBestRating, ukMatchBasis, and sponsorEvidence with the full detail, including possibleMatches that were not counted.

Every job also has the usual job fields: title, location, country, remote or hybrid, salary range, posting date and apply link.

How the score is built, only from the public record:

Job country	Points
US (or unknown)	Similar title: up to 60 for certified LCAs for titles like this one (1 filing → 20, 10 → 40, 100+ → 60). Employer: up to 25 for all its certified LCAs (1 → 5, 10 → 12, 100 → 18, 1,000+ → 25). +10 for any certified LCA in the latest fiscal year, +5 for any certified PERM case
UK	Licensed sponsor 50, +30 for the Skilled Worker route, +20 for an A rating (+10 for Provisional)
Elsewhere	Capped at 20: the US and UK records say nothing about other countries

The other country's record (a UK licence for a US job, or US filings for a UK job) counts for at most 10 points. For a US job, filings for other titles score at most 40, so a score above 40 means the employer has filed for similar titles.

What the wage levels mean. Most H-1B filings state a prevailing wage from the DOL survey at one of four levels: I entry, II qualified, III experienced, IV fully competent. A mix weighted to III-IV means the employer mostly sponsors experienced hires for that title; I-II means it also sponsors early-career people. No level means the prevailing wage came from another source or was blank. Wages are the offered wage, annualised (hourly × 2,080), from certified filings only.

The dataset has three views (Employers, Jobs with sponsorship evidence, Salary benchmark) and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML. The run's SUMMARY record lists every company, the entities matched and why any company had no match.

How much does it cost?

You pay per record returned: one employer profile or one job. There is no charge for Apify platform usage on top.

Row	Free and Starter	Scale	Business
Employer profile or job	$2.50 per 1,000	$1.90 per 1,000	$1.40 per 1,000

Plus $0.00005 per run start. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 2,000 employer profiles. Free-plan runs stop at 50 records each; any paid Apify plan removes the cap. You can also set your own limit with Max results.

What's free: companies with no match, invalid or repeated entries, careers boards that can't be found or reached, jobs removed by your filters (including onlyWithSponsorEvidence and minSponsorScore), and companies not reached before the run's time limit. A run where every job board is down ends with a message and no record charges. To cap a run's spend, set Maximum cost per run in the run options.

Limits, stated up front

• Past filings, not a promise. A certified LCA means the Department of Labor certified the employer's wage attestation. It does not mean a visa was issued, that a job is open, or that the employer will sponsor you. A UK licence means the company can sponsor. A high sponsorScore means many past filings for similar work. Confirm sponsorship with the employer or a qualified immigration lawyer; nothing here is legal advice.
• US data: DOL LCA and PERM files for FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026 to date (decisions up to 30 June 2026), aggregated into about 150,000 employers. FY2026 is partial, so h1bCertifiedLatestFY is usually lower than earlier years. The index ships with the Actor and is refreshed when DOL publishes a new quarter.
• UK data: the register is downloaded live from gov.uk on every run. If gov.uk is slow or unreachable, the bundled snapshot is used and ukRegisterDate and data.ukRegisterSource say so.
• Name matching. Filings use legal names, so both sides are normalised (case, punctuation, legal suffixes such as Inc, LLC, Ltd) and scored: exact 1.00, same without spaces 0.95, the entity starts with your name plus extra words 0.90 minus 0.05 per word, near-identical spelling 0.90 × similarity. Minimum name-match score (default 0.8) decides what is counted, and every counted entity is listed in matchedEmployers.
• Big brands are pre-mapped to the legal entities they file under, per country (about 60 employers): "PwC" counts PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory Services LLC and its other US entities, "Barclays" its US filers and all its UK licences. Look-alikes such as Apple Tree Dental are left out. Short or generic names that aren't pre-mapped can still pick up unrelated companies: pin them with a name mapping such as Acme = Acme Corporation.
• UK matching is stricter. Each UK match says why it counts in ukMatchBasis: exact, trading-name (listed "t/a" the employer), brand-map, legal-suffix (jobs mode, only when the employer's own ads or careers domain name that entity) or unconfirmed (a similar name only, listed but not counted in jobs mode).
• Jobs mode reads only Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Personio and Teamtailor boards, and board names match employers strictly (exact name, a built-in alias or your mapping). Near-misses go to possibleMatches.
• Up to 500 companies per run. The run needs a timeout of at least 60 seconds; if a long list would outlast it, the run stops cleanly with what it found.
• Company data only. From the DOL files only business columns are read; employer contacts, attorneys, agents, preparers and worker fields never are, and individual case records are never output. Employers that are private individuals are removed, and UK sole traders licensed under a personal name show only their business name or are left out. Job records have no recruiter fields, and emails and phone numbers in descriptions are removed.

Schedules

The US data changes quarterly and the UK register most working days. To track a list of employers, save it as a task and add a weekly or monthly schedule under Schedules in Apify Console. A weekly jobs-mode run with onlyWithSponsorEvidence on gives a fresh list of openings at employers with a filing record.

Integrations: API, n8n, Make and AI agents

API. Run it and get the rows back in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/locaihost~visa-sponsors/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode": "employers", "companies": ["Google", "Stripe", "Mayo Clinic"]}'

Apify's API clients for Python and JavaScript work the same way.

n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks. Apify's built-in integrations send each run's dataset wherever you need it.

AI agents (MCP). Add this Actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client with https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/visa-sponsors, then ask something like "Which of Stripe, Figma and Monzo sponsor H-1B software engineers, and what median wage did they file?"

FAQ

How much does it cost to look up H1B sponsors?

$2.50 per 1,000 employer profiles or jobs on the Free and Starter plans, less on Scale and Business. Companies with no match are free. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 2,000 employer profiles.

Can I use it through the API or from Python?

Yes. Use the run-sync-get-dataset-items call above, or Apify's Python and JavaScript clients. Every run's data is also available as JSON, CSV or Excel from its dataset.

Can I use it from an AI agent?

Yes. Through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=locaihost/visa-sponsors) any MCP client can call it with a list of companies and read the profiles back.

Is it legal to use H-1B and UK sponsor data?

The US data comes from the Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification performance data (disclosure files): US government work in the public domain. The UK data is the Home Office register of licensed sponsors (workers), which contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Jobs mode reads employers' public job-board feeds. The Actor returns company-level data only. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DOL or the Home Office, and you are responsible for how you use the results.

Why are some fields empty or lower than expected?

FY2026 is partial, so the latest-year count is usually lower. A company with no US filings has zero US totals but can still have a UK licence, and the other way round. If a company you know sponsors shows nothing, it may file under a different legal name: lower minMatchScore to find it, then pin it with a name mapping.

Does a certified filing mean the company will sponsor me?

No. It shows what the employer filed in the past. Use it to prioritise and research, and confirm with the employer.
