Reported wages are what the employer filed with the Department of Labor — not actual take-home pay. Denials reflect individual case outcomes — not whether an employer sponsors. One LCA is not one job.

If this company files an H-1B for you, how often is it denied?

Not to be confused with LCA outcomes. An LCA is a Department of Labor filing that precedes the visa petition; nearly every employer's LCAs are certified at 99–100%, which tells you almost nothing about petition outcomes. The figures on this page come from USCIS petition decisions instead. The two are often reported interchangeably; they measure different things. Why these are two different datasets.

No USCIS petition records are on file for this employer.Our USCIS coverage is FY2009–FY2026 (through Q3). Employers appear here only once USCIS has decided at least one H-1B petition filed under this name.

This is the only place on this site where the word "denial" refers to a visa decision. These figures come from USCIS decisions on H-1B petitions (Form I-129). A denial reflects the outcome of one specific petition and depends on the role, the filing type, the year's adjudication climate, and the case's own facts. A high denial rate does not mean an employer will not sponsor you, and a low one does not guarantee your petition will be approved.

Why separate "change of employer" from "new employment"?

They are different processes. A first-time petition must clear the annual lottery; a change of employer does not take a lottery slot. Averaging them into one "denial rate" hands the job-changer a number that is too high. The gap is systematic across employers, not a quirk of any one of them — which is why the headline above uses the change-of-employer figure rather than a blended one.

These figures come from Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) the employer filed with the U.S. Department of Labor. They are the base wage the employer committed to pay — they exclude bonuses, equity, and other compensation, and they do not confirm what any individual was actually paid. A filing is not a hire.

A "denied" count near zero is normal here. The Department of Labor checks whether the form complies, not whether the person can get a visa. What decides that is the USCIS petition — the module above.

Which wage tier this company files at

DOL LCA · FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3)

Every LCA names a prevailing wage — the government's reference rate for that job, in that place, at one of four experience tiers. Level I is entry-level; Level IV is the most senior. Two things matter here: which tier the employer files at, and how far above that reference it actually offers.

+19.3%

n = 14certified filings

Filed wages sit 19.3% above the prevailing wage for the same jobs and tiers. A figure near zero means the employer files at close to the government reference rate; a large one means it files well above.

Wage tier as filed	Filings (n)	Filed wage	Prevailing wage	Difference

“Not stated” and “marked not applicable” are two different things and we keep them apart. A blank tier means the employer left the field empty; “not applicable” means the employer said the tiered scale does not fit the role. Folding either one into the numbered tiers would turn “we do not know” into “we do”.

A tier is not a judgement about the employer. Filing at Level I for a genuinely entry-level role is correct. What the table shows is where the company placed the role on the scale and what it committed to pay against that reference — nothing more.

Does this company file green card applications?

DOL PERM · FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3)

Yes — PERM filings on record

18 permanent labor certification applications were decided across FY2021–FY2026 (through Q3), 18 of them in FY2021.

"Certified-expired" is a common status, not a refusal. A labor certification is valid for a limited window; if the employer does not file the next step in time it expires. That is usually about process timing, not a failed application. We keep it in its own column — never folded into "denied", never into "certified".

We do not estimate anyone's prospects of getting a green card from these numbers.The people who file PERM and the people holding H-1B are not the same group, and years separate the two steps. The table above shows only what this employer actually filed and what was decided.
