Visa sponsors in Oklahoma
108 sponsoring employers, 0.4% of every sponsor in the United States, making it the 34th largest, covering 375 H-1B approvals. Figures as of July 2026.
This is a snapshot dated July 2026, not a live list. The register changes as employers gain and lose their licence, so treat these as employers known to have sponsored, and confirm current status against USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub before relying on it.
What this number counts
USCIS publishes H-1B petitions approved and refused per employer for a single fiscal year. It is a record of decisions already made, not a list of jobs open now, and it covers the H-1B route only.
An employer that files from more than one state appears under each of them, so state figures do not add up to the national total. Every number on this page is read straight from USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, and none of it is an estimate.
How often petitions are refused in Oklahoma

97.4%
approved of those decided
USCIS decided 385 H-1B petitions for employers filing from Oklahoma in fiscal year 2023, and approved 97.4% of them. The rate across the whole register is 97.1%, so employers here clear the bar more often than the national picture. A refusal is a decision on a filing an employer already committed to, so a high rate says little about your own odds of being hired.

How Oklahoma compares
48 states and territories clear the 25-employer floor we report on individually, and sponsorship is nowhere near evenly spread between them. California carries 45.6 times as many sponsoring employers as Oklahoma, so where you look changes the odds before your CV does.
Using this to find a sponsored job in Oklahoma
A place on the register means an employer has sponsored before, which is the single hardest thing to verify from a job advert. It does not mean they are hiring today, so treat the list as a shortlist to research rather than a set of open roles.
Our job board for the United States only carries listings from employers on this register. The full United States breakdown ranks every region, and our analysis of all three registers sets out how the UK, US and Canadian sources differ and why their numbers should never be added together.
