Summary

In FY2026, Airbnb Inc filed 171 H-1B petitions with a 96.5% certification rate, continuing its pattern as a consistent technology sponsor. Over its H-1B history from 2012 through 2026, the California-based company has filed 1,925 total petitions with an all-time certified rate of 96.62%, demonstrating strong compliance and approval outcomes.

Airbnb's H-1B sponsorship is heavily concentrated in specialized technical roles. Software Developers (SOC 15-1252) represent the largest share at 1,324 filings, followed by Data Scientists (258 filings) and Computer Occupations roles. The company also sponsors smaller numbers of Graphic Designers and Architectural and Engineering Managers. This role distribution reflects Airbnb's focus on product development, analytics, and design talent acquisition.

The company's filing volume has been volatile, peaking at 406 petitions in 2019, then dropping sharply to single digits in 2020–2022, before recovering substantially from 2023 onward. With 240 filings in FY2025 and 171 in FY2026, Airbnb has returned to moderate sponsorship levels. Its 96.62% all-time certification rate with minimal denials (0.16%) indicates consistent alignment with prevailing wage and eligibility requirements.
