Sources & how to read these records
Source: U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data. Counts use the identified employer’s certified filings. Each record shows its coverage and refresh dates.
LCA filings precede visa petitions; they are not USCIS approvals or counts of people hired. PERM is separate green card labor certification history and does not establish a green card commitment for a current opening.
H-1B transfers and OPT / STEM OPT support must be confirmed for the individual role. H-1B history does not establish E-Verify participation.

How to evaluate Microsoft for your job search
Does Microsoft sponsor H-1B visas?
The employer entities matched to Microsoft have certified H-1B labor condition applications in Openbound’s held government data. This establishes historical filing activity. Historical filings do not confirm sponsorship for a current opening or count USCIS approvals, visas issued or people hired.
H-1B LCA evidence: FY2026: 5,107 certified filings (partial year); FY2025: 9,192 certified filings (complete year).
Government data through: 2026-06-30. Imported into Openbound: 2026-08-14.
Does Microsoft support employment-based green cards?
Scope: certified PERM cases for the employer entities matched to Microsoft in the held DOL dataset. The counts combine matched entities and exclude denied or withdrawn cases.
| Fiscal year | Certified cases | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 1,600 | Partial year |
| FY2025 | 2,926 | Complete year |
| FY2024 | 1,734 | Complete year |
| FY2023 | 2,396 | Complete year |
Government data through: 2026-06-30. Imported into Openbound: 2026-08-16.
PERM labor certification history is separate from H-1B activity. It does not establish an I-140 approval, a green card issuance or a commitment to start PERM for a new employee.
What do current Microsoft job postings say?
Openbound’s monitored US inventory contains 1,285 active postings in the snapshot generated on 2026-10-22. Within that inventory, 0 postings contain positive sponsorship language and 117 contain restrictions. A posting may contain conditional language; these signal counts are not a partition of all roles or a count of offers. The snapshot may not cover every opening on the employer’s careers site.
Does Microsoft support H-1B transfers?
The company filing snapshot does not identify H-1B transfers separately. Look for transfer-specific wording on the original posting and ask recruiting to confirm support for the exact requisition and employing entity.
What about OPT or STEM OPT?
Confirm the legal employing entity, current source posting and recruiter guidance for the specific role. H-1B transfer support, OPT / STEM OPT eligibility, E-Verify participation and future PERM support require separate checks. A company’s historical filings do not establish any of these for an individual opening.
