Petitions USCIS decided for OpenAI's H-1B workers, by federal fiscal year (October to September). This is the employer's filing record, separate from what any one posting says.
* Partial year: FY2026 (Oct 1, 2025 – Jun 30, 2026). Drawn lighter because the year is not complete in its source.

OpenAI meets our H-1B filer threshold: at least 10 new-employment approvals in the latest full fiscal year, or at least 25 approvals in FY2026 to date. Its US postings that say nothing about sponsorship carry an “H-1B filer” note; postings that rule sponsorship out never do.
Source: USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub. Each number counts workers on petitions USCIS decided that year (first decisions only), for the petitioner names OPENAI INC, OPENAI L P and 2 other spellings. It counts petitions decided, not job openings, and it does not say whether a particular role will be sponsored. FY2019–FY2022 come from USCIS's yearly files; FY2023 onward from the live hub, which USCIS updates quarterly. We linked these petitioner names to the company by hand after checking USCIS's records (tax ID, city and state). Search the USCIS hub
