Summary

California Institute of Technology is a private research university in Pasadena, CA that actively sponsors H-1B workers. In fiscal year 2026, Caltech filed 69 H-1B applications, continuing a sharp upward trend after a multi-year lull—filings rebounded from just 3 in 2020 to 217 in 2025.

Across all filings since 2010, Caltech has submitted 1,787 H-1B applications with a 55.51% certification rate, 1.57% withdrawn, and 0.84% denied. The employer's H-1B profile is heavily concentrated in scientific and academic roles: Biological Scientists (685 filings), Medical Scientists (223), Biochemists and Biophysicists (127), Biological Technicians (98), and Physics Teachers (79) dominate its petition mix. This composition reflects Caltech's mission as a research institution hiring postdoctoral scholars and research staff from abroad.

The recent acceleration in filings suggests renewed hiring momentum after pandemic-related disruption. The all-time certification rate of 55.51% is moderate for academic sponsors, indicating roughly half of Caltech's H-1B petitions have received final labor certification, with very few denied outright.
