Summary

This leaderboard ranks H-1B sponsors by certification rate among employers with at least 500 filings—a threshold that filters for meaningful volume and sponsorship track record.

Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. and Amazon Data Services, Inc. top the list at 99.34% certification, with the Virginia-based Amazon.com Services LLC achieving 98.8% across 36,147 filings.

Methodology

Certification % is filings with DOL status Certified divided by total filings for the sponsor. The 500-filing floor is a sample-size guard against employers with a single perfect filing topping the list. Cert-withdrawn and withdrawn dispositions are not counted as certifications, even though they were initially approved.
