Source & Coverage
Official DOL LCA disclosure. DOL disclosure release register. Snapshot prepared Oct 11, 2026.
This is a cumulative quarterly release of certified H-1B LCAs, not a complete employer history. Non-certified filings and other visa classes are excluded, so an approval rate cannot be calculated. One case may concern multiple workers or worksites; these counts are cases, not hires, employees or visas issued. Only the primary disclosed worksite is shown. Small groups and different roles can distort wage comparisons.
Names follow the disclosed business names; separately named subsidiaries are not combined. LCA certification does not establish a USCIS approval, current job opening or green-card sponsorship. No employer reliability score or sponsorship guarantee is inferred.
