H-1B sponsorship profile: Microsoft Corporation. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Microsoft Corporation filed 29,803 Labor Condition Applications covering 54,223 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 99.7% (29,715 certified of 29,803 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on Microsoft Corporation’s H-1B petitions range from $73,125 at the low end to $325,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $168,156. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Software Engineering (10,257 petitions at $171,578 avg), followed by Software Engineer and Product Management. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.

Geographic footprint. Microsoft Corporation is headquartered in Redmond, WA under NAICS code 513210, and places H-1B workers across 8 states, most heavily in WA, CA, GA. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.
