Summary

The University of San Francisco is a private research and teaching institution in California that has sponsored H-1B visa petitions since 2010. In FY2026, the institution filed 2 H-1B applications, both certified. Over its 17-year sponsorship history through 2026, USF has filed 2,422 total H-1B petitions with a cumulative 3.47% certification rate, 0.08% withdrawn, and no denials.

Historical filing activity peaked in 2019 with 285 petitions but dropped sharply from 2020 onward, declining to single-digit annual filings in recent years. The top sponsored roles reflect the university's academic and research mission: Biochemists and Biophysicists lead with 977 filings, followed by Software Developers (396), Software Quality Assurance Analysts and Testers (150), Health Specialties Teachers, Postsecondary (150), and Biological Science Teachers, Postsecondary (135).

The significant gap between historical volume and recent years suggests a substantial change in USF's H-1B sponsorship strategy or practice, warranting review of labor certification requirements and institutional hiring patterns.
