H-1B Approval Rate Over Time

Approvals, Wages, and Role Mix

USCIS approval rows in this series total 13,672 from 2020 to 2025, led by 4,747 approvals in 2020. Approvals then declined to 410 FY2025 initial approvals, a -91.4% change from 2020. The FY2025 Hub row does not publish the denial count needed to compute a rate here, and the approval table for HCL America does not include a 2024 row.

Compensation also moved up over time. In 2025, average H-1B salary is $112,180 versus a $100,508 prevailing wage, a gap of $11,672. Across 2020 to 2025, the average salary premium is $9,820.

Top job titles are concentrated in technical delivery roles: Programmer Analyst - II (4,136), System Architect - III (2,147), Systems Analyst - III (1,648), IT Project Managers - III (1,531), IT Project Managers - IV (1,495). Top occupation values are now available, while this page still uses title-level counts as the role mix view.

Workforce Share Not Used
Metric intentionally suppressed

This site no longer charts H-1B filings as a share of workforce. The ratio can blur U.S. employees, global employees, contractors, and offshore delivery headcount into one denominator.

Rows with a disclosed U.S.-employee denominator available here: 0. The analysis now uses filings, approvals, wage, worksite, and title concentration instead.
