In FY25, Amazon led H-1B visa approvals with 4,644, followed by Meta's 1,555, Microsoft at 1,394, and Google with 1,050, according to the National Foundation for American Policy. Notably, Indian companies saw a 70% decline in approvals since FY15, with only 4,573 petitions. Analysts criticize the capped 85,000 annual visas as too low, impacting US job creation and suggesting that immigration restrictions drive firms to hire abroad, undermining competitiveness.
