Summary

Qualcomm Incorporated is a California-based semiconductor and wireless technology company that has sponsored H-1B workers since 2010. In FY2026, the company filed 35 H-1B petitions, all of which were certified, reflecting a sharp decline from its peak activity around 2012 when it filed 1,658 petitions annually.

Across its H-1B sponsorship history, Qualcomm has filed 5,388 total petitions with a 4.14% overall certification rate, indicating the vast majority of filings were withdrawn or not approved during earlier years. The company's role mix is heavily concentrated in software development: Software Developers account for 2,556 filings (47% of all petitions), followed by Electronics Engineers (1,136), Software Quality Assurance Analysts (579), and Computer Hardware Engineers (403).

Qualcomm's filing volume dropped sharply between 2013 and 2020, falling from 684 to just 6 petitions, before showing modest recovery in recent years. The recent 100% certification rate in FY2026 suggests improved petition quality or closer alignment with current DOL requirements, though the substantially lower filing volume reflects the company's reduced reliance on H-1B sponsorship for technical talent.
