H-1B Visa: Tech Giants Increase Sponsorships Amid Policy Scrutiny

Despite increased scrutiny and regulatory changes under the Trump administration, 2025 should see a surge in H-1B visa sponsorships from leading U.S. businesses. The annual cap for new H-1B is 85,000; however, companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and JPMorgan Chase are actively trying to retain and recruit foreign-born professionals, especially from India.

Key Pointers To Notice

Amazon Inc. had 10,044 H-1B approvals in 2025 compared to 9,257 in 2024.
JPMorgan received another 721 approvals.
Similarly, the number of H-1B sponsorships also illuminated with Microsoft Inc., Apple Inc., and Meta Platforms.

And likewise, Cisco Systems Inc., Tata Consultancy Services, Visa Technology and Operations, Amazon Web Services Inc., General Motors Corp., and Amazon Data Services Inc. are increasing their H-1B sponsorships.

Implications for Indian Professionals

In FY 2023, Indian nationals continued to be the predominant beneficiaries of the H-1B program, representing 72 percent of all approvals. This speaks to the continued demand for highly skilled workers engaged in technology, engineering, and finance.
