Summary

Microsoft Corporation and WIPRO LIMITED are among the largest H-1B sponsors in the United States. Both have filed over 70,000 petitions since 2010, with WIPRO slightly ahead at 71,022 filings versus Microsoft's 70,316.

The two sponsors differ significantly on certification outcomes. Microsoft achieved a 35.21% certification rate across its filings, while WIPRO certified only 8.45% of petitions. Neither employer received denials over this period. Microsoft's higher certification rate reflects a different sponsorship profile—typically hiring specialized technical talent for Washington-based operations—while WIPRO's lower rate aligns with its business model as a large IT services consulting firm placing workers across numerous client sites and roles.

Both companies have maintained continuous H-1B sponsorship from 2010 through 2026, making them among the most consistent participants in the program.
