Does Roblox sponsor visas — and what does it pay?
Roblox filed 197 certified labour condition applications with the US Department of Labor between 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, covering 197 worker positions. Every wage below is a figure Roblox put in front of a federal agency, not a number from a job advert.

Read both columns together. Paying the prevailing wage is legal and normal — it is the floor Congress set, not a loophole. The employer also chooses the wage level (I–IV) on the form, and a senior level carries a higher floor, so a wide margin above the floor can reflect the level selected rather than generosity. Read the two columns together, and treat neither as evidence of wrongdoing.
