Summary

Yale University is a major research institution in Connecticut that actively sponsors H-1B workers. In FY2026, Yale filed 285 H-1B petitions with a 62.5% certification rate.

Across all filings from 2010 to 2026, Yale has submitted 4,231 H-1B petitions with an all-time certified rate of 72.18%. The employer's role mix is dominated by research and scientific positions: Medical Scientists (1,583 filings) and Biological Technicians (1,336 filings) account for over two-thirds of sponsorships. Biological Science Teachers (549 filings) and other specialized research roles round out the portfolio. Only 0.99% of Yale's petitions have been denied and 2.36% withdrawn, reflecting consistent approval of its applications.

Filing activity dropped sharply from 2019 to 2022, likely reflecting pandemic-related hiring freezes, but recovered strongly in 2024 (494 filings) before settling to 285 in 2026. Yale's certification record and stable sponsorship pattern position it as a reliable H-1B employer in research and higher education.
