This is part of what you will see for Rivian. Note the dates, many are already in 2026. This updates the story I did last October: https://blnnews.com/2025/10/24/rivian-h1b-visas-transparency-and-isu/
Keep in mind millions of your tax dollars subsided Rivian.
State farm has also been aggressively posting h1-bs, but from what I can tell, they are for renewals, as the office listed on them is corporate North and specific homes in town (hybrid), as in the h1-b already lives here. Not sure if they are processing new applications with the $100,000 fee.
They weren’t listed this time
Site says they have 38 for 2025. Big increases over the past 5 years, which is silly because the technology labor market has soften considerably since 2021, lots of trained American college grads who could do the jobs.

I’ll say the quiet part out loud. If I was hiring I’d think twice about picking anyone fresh out of America’s educational system. Even calling it an educational system is a stretch.
Legal immigrants are far more patriotic.
Oh they definitely are. My daughter-in-law is my prime example! :-):-)
