State sponsor index
This view uses official DOL LCA worksite-state fields for Iowa, so it is best for spotting where filing activity appears. It is not a promise that an employer will sponsor future roles.
H-1B sponsors in Iowa: official US Department of Labor disclosure data lists 50 recently active employers with Iowa worksites, concentrated in Austin, TX, New York, NY and Atlanta, GA — 50 with H-1B labor condition application (LCA) filings and 41 that also show PERM permanent labor certification (green-card) filings. Across those sponsors the median reported wage is $121,961 a year. Retrieved from official US Department of Labor OFLC disclosure data on 2026-08-09.
These are filing records, not job offers. The wage figure is the median of each employer's own median reported LCA wage, so it describes the level Iowa sponsors file at — not what any individual worker earns — and a certified filing is a Department of Labor step, never proof that USCIS approved a petition or that the employer will sponsor a new hire.

FAQ
VisaSignal lists employers with imported DOL LCA rows that include Iowa as the worksite state. That is a state-level filing signal, not a promise that an employer is currently hiring or will sponsor a future role.
Start with the employer filing counts, then open individual employers to compare roles, worksites, wage signals, PERM activity, and source periods. The same employer can appear in several states when official LCA rows list multiple worksite locations.
No. A certified LCA is a Department of Labor labor-condition filing signal. USCIS decides H-1B petitions separately, so state sponsor pages should be used as research context rather than approval records.
The Iowa filing snapshot rolls up the most frequent job titles and worksite cities across the employers shown, using the role and city fields from official DOL LCA and PERM disclosure rows. In recent Iowa filings, the worksite cities that appear most often are Austin, TX, New York, NY, Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC. The most common job titles are Software Developer, Software Engineer, Design Engineer, Electrical Engineer. Read it as where recent filing activity clusters in Iowa, not as a ranking of which employers are easiest to get sponsored by.
Across the Iowa employers shown here, the median reported LCA wage is $121,961 a year, taken from the wage fields on official DOL disclosure rows and verified on 2026-08-09. It is a median of each employer's own median, so it describes the wage level Iowa sponsors file at rather than what any individual worker earns, and DOL wage fields exclude bonuses, equity, and other compensation. The roles behind these filings are mostly Software Developer, Software Engineer, Design Engineer, Electrical Engineer.
Yes. Every Iowa employer shown here is built from free, public DOL OFLC disclosure data, so there is no paywall or login. VisaSignal layers the worksite-state grouping, the role and city rollups, and source-period caveats on top of the raw government files.
Employers here are flagged when imported DOL PERM (permanent labor certification) rows list Iowa worksites, shown alongside their H-1B LCA filings, often concentrated in Austin, TX, New York, NY, Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC. A certified PERM is an earlier step toward an employment-based green card, but it is a Department of Labor labor-market signal only — not a guarantee of green-card approval, a job offer, or future sponsorship.
Major sponsor states
California, Texas, New York and the other large tech, finance, and healthcare labor markets consistently carry the highest H-1B/LCA worksite filing volumes in the official DOL disclosure data. Jump straight to the states job seekers search most.
Related states
Each state page uses the same DOL worksite-state fields, so cross-state navigation is useful when comparing nearby filing activity or expanding a job search.
