Is there a limit on H-1B petitions per employer?

There is no formal limit preventing an employer from filing multiple H-1B petitions during the visa season. The same employer can sponsor different candidates, as long as each case stands on its own merits.

The key point is that each petition is evaluated individually and must consistently demonstrate:

• A genuine job offer and a position compatible with the visa.
• The candidate’s qualifications for the role.
• Compliance with the required working conditions, such as the prevailing wage established for the position.

Although there is no cap per employer, immigration authorities review petitions carefully and may question patterns that appear abusive or documentation that seems inconsistent. Submitting weak or artificial filings in large numbers tends to attract scrutiny rather than facilitate approvals.

For that reason, the wisest approach is to prioritize the quality and legitimacy of each petition. For updated requirements and rules applicable to the program, it is worth consulting USCIS or a qualified specialist.
