Most Singaporeans looking for work in the US apply the same way everyone else does. Cold applications, no idea whether the company has ever sponsored a work visa, never mind H-1B1 specifically. You find out at offer stage, which is the worst possible moment to learn that nobody in HR has heard of this visa. Public filing data can tell you months earlier.

Start with filing history, not guesswork

Every employer that sponsors H-1B1 has to file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor, and those filings become public record. A company with filings behind it has already cleared the boring obstacles. Its recruiters know the visa exists, and its immigration counsel knows the LCA has to go in under the “H-1B1 Singapore” visa class rather than plain H-1B. Somebody there has signed off on hiring this way before.

That is all this site does: DOL disclosure data reshaped into something searchable. 8,769 certified H-1B1 Singapore filings across 2,828 distinct employers, current through Q2 2026. Median wage on those filings is $149,000, which doubles as a sanity check on what these roles actually pay.

Where to start searching

If you already have companies in mind, look them up directly and filter by state or minimum filing count. Amazon leads the whole dataset with 70 filings, then Meta at 56, Apple at 22, Ernst & Young at 20. Those numbers are small, and that is the point. This is a niche visa, so an employer with even five or six filings has done it more often than almost anyone else.

If you’re flexible on the employer but sure about the job, search by title instead. Every company that has sponsored that role comes up, with filing counts and salary ranges per employer. The role pages break the same data out geographically, so you can see where a title actually gets sponsored.

If location is your real constraint, start from the state pages. California alone accounts for 3,156 filings and New York another 2,328. After that it drops off quickly: Washington 737, Texas 532, Massachusetts 352. Pick a state outside the top few and expect a genuinely short list.

Check recency, not just the total

An employer with 40 lifetime filings and none in the past twelve months may have paused sponsorship, reorganized, or just stopped hiring. Check the “past year” count before you spend a week tailoring applications to them. Every employer page shows both numbers side by side.

Build the shortlist, then apply like normal

Once you have a list of employers with real H-1B1 history, apply through their ordinary channels: careers page, referrals, recruiters. Filing history tells you a company can sponsor you; it promises nothing about your particular application. Say plainly in that application that you’re a Singapore citizen eligible for H-1B1. Don’t make a hiring manager work it out.

Learn the paperwork before you need it

Knowing the sequence in advance is how you catch a mistake while it is still cheap to fix. Our H-1B1 visa guide walks through the LCA, the DS-160, and the embassy interview, including that annotation detail above, which an unfamiliar legal team can easily get wrong. If you’re weighing an H-1B1 offer against a regular H-1B one, here is how the two differ.

This site tracks historical LCA filings. Those show an employer’s intent to sponsor, not confirmed hires or current openings. Treat it as a research tool for prioritizing your search, not as a job board.
