Side-by-side comparison

Ernst & Young U.S. LLP vs IBM India Private Limited

A direct H-1B sponsorship comparison built from the same DOL Labor Condition Application data that drives every page on H1B Report. Total filings, outcome rates, top occupations and yearly demand side-by-side.

Summary

Ernst & Young U.S. LLP and IBM India Private Limited are both major H-1B sponsors with substantial filing histories since 2010. EY has filed 68,387 H-1B petitions with a 38.2% certification rate and 0.04% denial rate, while IBM India has filed 48,627 petitions with a 0.08% certification rate and no denials on record.

EY leads significantly on total filings and certification volume, reflecting its larger U.S. sponsorship footprint. IBM India's extremely low certification rate (0.08%) suggests most of its filings may not have resulted in certified labor condition applications or were withdrawn before certification. Both sponsors show very low denial rates, indicating LCA challenges are rare in both cases.

EY's activity data extends through FY2026, while IBM India's latest filing is from 2024. For context, both have maintained consistent H-1B sponsorship presence over their 14+ year windows.
