Which Company Is Now In The Catbird Seat When It Comes To H-1B Visas? September 22, 2025

Locator: 49183AMZN.

All of this needs to be fact-checked. I've done this quickly. Much to unravel here. 

Which American company has the most H-1B visas .... by a huge amount. A huge amount? Amazon.

Currently:

For the 2025 fiscal year, Amazon has the most H-1B visa approvals, followed by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Microsoft, Meta Platforms, and Apple. Other major tech and professional services companies rounding out the top ten include Google, Cognizant, JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, and Walmart.

Most interesting: one may want to see the jump from 2024 to 2025. Did Amazon see this coming? Link here. Actually, it's even more interesting to look at Google. Google apparently had 856 H-1B visas in 2024; this year, before the executive order was signed, Google had almost 6,000 H-1B visas

Next question to ask: why did Google's number of H-1B visas jump from 800 to 5,000 in one year. There are only two possible answers. LOL. 

I have believing those numbers, that the number of H-1B visas Amazon had in 2024 was less than 4,000 and, now, one year later, over 10,000.

But, if the numbers are correct, it's hard to believe that Amazon grew that fast, or re-positioned their workers that fast.

And, having said all that, who really benefits? India. We'll connect the dots later if necessary.
