Summary

Yale University is a private research and education institution based in Connecticut that actively sponsors H-1B workers. In FY2026, Yale filed 163 H-1B petitions with a 57.7% certification rate, representing a recovery after reduced filings in prior years. Since 2010, the university has filed 4,095 total H-1B petitions with an overall certification rate of 17.53%.

Yale's H-1B sponsorship is heavily concentrated in research and academic roles. The top occupations are Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists (1,560 filings), Biological Technicians (1,288 filings), and Biological Science Teachers, Postsecondary (521 filings). These reflect the university's focus on biomedical and life sciences research and instruction. Smaller numbers of positions span Statisticians and Physicians.

Filing volume fluctuated significantly over the 16-year period, peaking at 386 filings in 2010 and dropping sharply during 2020–2022 (likely due to pandemic-related hiring freezes), before rising again to 494 filings in 2024. Denial and withdrawal rates have historically been minimal, indicating consistent alignment with prevailing wage and job specification requirements.
