    Unsurprisingly, the Indian outsourcing firms dominate the list- In a Big Way ! Out of the top 5 companies, 4 of them are from India. The only exception being Microsoft Corporation. The other significant US companies are IBM and Oracle who come 8th and 9th on the list. Interestingly, 10 Indian firms alone account for more than 20000 H1B visas- that is nearly 1/3rd of the all H1B visas issued.
    The complete 200 list shows a mix of Indian and foreign outsourcing firms, technology vendors and American Universities.

    Here is the list:

    Atleast Microsoft takes the employees to US. Most Indian companies file for H1b’s just for the heck of it.

    Hello Oscar thanks for your comment !
    It is an interesting observation. However, If you see that there are 65K H1B for skilled workers and 20,000 that are reserved extra for University Students. So I guess that may explain why the number is higher.
