Missing data, not a clean record.

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?

USCIS · FY2021–FY2025 combined

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.

n = 30petitions decided · FY2021–FY2025 combined

You are changing employers. That is the share of petitions like yours that Mass General Brigham Incorporated had denied over the 5 fiscal years FY2021–FY2025 taken together — not in any single year. 30 change-of-employer petitions were decided across those years; 0 were denied. The year-by-year split is in the second table below. USCIS · FY2021–FY2025 combined

The table below splits petitions by filing type, over FY2021–FY2025 combined. The types do not face the same odds — find the row that matches your own situation.

All figures in this table are FY2021–FY2025 combined totals.
Filing type	Approved	Denied	n	Denied share
Change of employerYou move from another company to this one	30	0	30	0%

Where fewer than 20 petitions were decided we print the count instead of a percentage. A percentage drawn from a handful of cases reads like a probability, and it is not one. How the sample thresholds are set.

Year by year, change-of-employer petitions only. The headline above combines the FY2021–FY2025 rows of this table (marked in window); the other years are shown because the denial climate in earlier years was not the same one.

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.

Why 5 years combined, and why these 5?

A single year of one employer's petitions is often a handful of cases, and a percentage drawn from a handful reads like a probability. Combining fiscal years raises the count — but only if the years belong to the same period. Across all employers in our data, the share of change-of-employer petitions denied ran at 9.54% in FY2018, 9.42% in FY2019 and 4.99% in FY2020, and has stayed between 1.28% and 1.99% in every one of the 5 years from FY2021 through FY2025. Averaging the earlier years together with FY2025 would not produce a steadier estimate; it would produce a number that describes no period at all. So the window stops where the earlier adjudication climate begins, and every figure drawn from it is labelled with the years it covers.

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.

+10.4%

n = 414certified filings

Filed wages sit 10.4% 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
Level I	22	$80,528 · median of 22	$69,919 · median of 22	+15.2%
Level II	24	$122,500 · median of 24	$95,722 · median of 24	+28%
Level III	9	9 filings — too few for a median	9 filings — too few for a median	—
Level IV	4	4 filings — too few for a median	4 filings — too few for a median	—

“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.

"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.

Any recent layoffs?

Layoff notices (WARN) are published state by state, and we have loaded only CA. This employer's H-1B worksites are in MA, CO, NY — none of which we have.

This blank does not mean the company has had no layoffs — it means we do not have those states' data. Check each state labor department's WARN page directly.

One company files under many spellings and many legal entities. We combine them so the numbers above cover the whole company rather than one spelling of it — and we list what we combined, so you can check the grouping instead of taking our word for it.

Different tax IDs in this list are normal — large companies file through several legal entities. We never group by tax ID alone: placeholder and mistyped IDs are common enough that doing so would merge unrelated companies. Grouping here comes from the filing names themselves, plus recorded human judgement where two entities are publicly one company.
