Statistics on the employers who submit H-1B applications and the professions for which USCIS has granted H-1B visas. (See USCIS’s “Characteristics of H-1B Specialty Occupation Workers” report; as of July 2022, the Fiscal Year 2021 report is the most recent one.)
Industries & Job Categories with high demand for H-1B visa holders include:
- Computer and Information Technology
- Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc.)
- Healthcare (Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, etc.)
- Science and Research (Biotechnology, Chemistry, Physics, etc.)
- Mathematics and Statistics
- Finance and Accounting
- Marketing and Sales
- Architecture and Design
- Education (Teachers, Professors, etc.)

It is important to note that while certain jobs may be more likely to obtain an H-1B visa, there is no guarantee that an individual in that profession will receive a visa. Approval is based on a variety of factors, including the individual’s qualifications, the employer’s need for the individual’s skills, and compliance with regulations.
