University of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignEmployers That Filed Green-Card Applications for Its Graduates
Which employers filed the most green-card applications for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign graduates?
Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Intel.

Each is an application, not a person and not a hire; 5.2% were denied or withdrawn.
Employers filed these applications for people who studied here; the school is not a party to them. H-1B filings do not record the worker's school, so this is green-card (PERM) data. Why
