FAQs

Does KPMG sponsor Business Analysts for H-1B? Yes — Management Analysts (KPMG's closest DOL occupation code to Business Analyst) is a recurring, if modest-volume, category in KPMG's filings, alongside Information Technology Project Managers for adjacent roles.

What's KPMG's average H-1B wage? $161,737 in FY2025, the highest of the Big Four accounting/consulting firms in this data pull (versus EY's $151,169 and PwC's $146,684).

Is KPMG H-1B dependent? No.

What does KPMG's own review process say about green card sponsorship? Per KPMG's published policy (reflected in employer reviews on visa-tracking sites), green card sponsorship typically requires 18+ months of tenure, at least one strong performance review, and Senior Associate level or above — worth confirming directly with your KPMG HR contact.

What's the realistic green card wait for an India-chargeability KPMG hire? EB-3 India sits at January 1, 2014 and EB-2 India is unavailable per the August 2026 Visa Bulletin — a multi-year wait post-PERM/I-140 regardless of KPMG's internal speed.

How does KPMG's approval rate compare to EY or PwC? At 98.5%, KPMG edges out EY (97.3%); PwC's smaller-volume filings show a 100% approval rate in the current fiscal year, though on a much smaller petition count.
