Companies that sponsored green cards for frontend developers in 2026 (free list from DOL PERM data)

If you're a frontend developer on a work visa, "does this company sponsor green cards?" is one of the hardest questions to answer from a job post. Most listings say nothing, and a recruiter's "we support visas" can mean H-1B only.

There's a better signal: the US Department of Labor publishes every PERM labor certification decision. PERM is the step most employer-sponsored green cards go through, so if a company filed PERM for a frontend role this year, it has actually done the paperwork before.

I went through the latest DOL PERM disclosure file (FY2026 Q3, decisions from Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026) and pulled every case with a frontend-style job title (front end, frontend, front-end, UI developer, UI engineer, React developer). That's 151 cases at 103 employers. Here are the top 15.

How to read the columns

PERM cases: how many PERM applications DOL decided for that employer with a frontend-style title in this window. It counts applications, not people hired.
Certified: how many DOL approved (this includes "certified-expired", meaning it was approved but the next step wasn't filed in time). Across all 151 frontend cases, 146 were certified, 3 denied and 2 withdrawn.
Median offered wage: the middle of the yearly wages the employer wrote on those applications. It's what they offered for that specific role and location, not a company-wide salary band.
Top worksite: where the job actually is. This often differs from headquarters (Fidelity is based in Boston, but most of its cases here are in Westlake, TX).

The full list also has the top job titles per employer and the date of the latest decision, which tells you how recently they filed.

How to use the list in a job search

Start with your location or the places you'd move to. Filter the sheet by worksite. A company with three cases in your city is a better lead than a famous name that only sponsored in another state.
Look at the job titles. Many cases are senior, lead or principal roles. If an employer only filed for "Principal Front End Engineer", that tells you the level they're willing to sponsor.
Check their careers page. Search for frontend, UI or React openings. Past filings don't mean they're hiring now.
Ask early, and ask the right question. "Do you sponsor H-1B?" and "Do you sponsor green cards (PERM)?" are different questions. Ask both in your first recruiter call so neither of you wastes time.
Track who said what. Once you're talking to 20+ companies, it's easy to forget which one said "case by case". I keep mine in a simple sheet (Job Application Tracker), but any spreadsheet works.

If frontend roles are too narrow for you, the software developer tab is much bigger: DOL decided 25,078 PERM cases for software developers and web developers (SOC codes 15-1252 and 15-1254) at 5,188 employers in the same window. The list covers the top 1,150 of them by case count (each with 4 or more cases, 19,254 cases in total). That's not every sponsor: the other 4,038 employers, the smaller filers, aren't in it.

Limits (please read before you rely on this)

This is PERM, not H-1B. A company can file lots of H-1Bs and few or no PERM applications, or the other way around.
Small numbers. Most frontend employers here (82 of 103) had a single case. A "100% approval rate" on 1–3 cases means very little.
Title matching isn't perfect. I matched job titles, not job descriptions. Some titles are senior or managerial, and a few aren't web work at all (Milwaukee Tool's cases are for a "Senior Concept Design Engineer – Front End Innovation", which reads like a product design role). Check the titles in the full list.
Staffing and IT consulting firms appear. Some employers place workers at client sites. That's a legitimate route for some people, but it's a different job than working in-house, so look them up.
Past filings don't promise future sponsorship. Budgets, policies and headcount change.
The data lags. DOL publishes disclosure files quarterly, and this one ends on Jun 30, 2026. Cases decided since then aren't in it yet. The raw files are public on the DOL FLAG site.
Not legal advice. For your own case, talk to an immigration attorney.

I left employer tax IDs out of the list on purpose. Everything else comes straight from the public DOL file.

For developers: pull your own fresh list

If you'd rather query the data yourself, by job title, city or salary, I published the tool I used to build this list: PERM Green Card Sponsors on Apify. It reads the DOL disclosure files directly and groups cases by employer. Most job seekers won't need it; the sheet is easier.
