Volume ≠ quality. High-volume sponsors often include consulting firms (Cognizant, Infosys, TCS) that file heavily at Level I/II — lower lottery odds. Look for sponsors with high approval rates and above-median wages. Under the 2026 wage-weighted lottery, your odds depend on both the employer and the wage level they file at.
