H-1B visa applications › About this data
H-1B visa applications
Before an employer can petition the immigration service for a foreign worker in an H-1B job, it must file a labor condition application with the Department of Labor. The Department publishes every application it has decided, with the employer, job title, wage offered, prevailing wage, worksite and the number of workers asked for. This page ranks the employers that filed the most certified applications and lists the latest decisions. Applications for H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore) and E-3 (Australia) workers are in the same files.
- Where it comes from
The Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification publishes every decided application as a public disclosure file. The files carry no worker names.
Who reports it: The employer files each application with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification. The Department publishes the decided ones.

- Coverage
- Applications decided since the 2020 fiscal year (October 2019). An application is not a hire, a petition or a visa, and one can cover several workers. Most employers are private companies, universities and staffing firms.
- Worth knowing
- An application is not a hire, a petition or a visa, and a certified application may never be used. One application can cover several workers, and staffing and consulting firms file many for work at other companies. A worksite or wage is as filed. Most employers are private companies, universities or staffing firms; we match a name to a public company automatically, so a subsidiary can be missed and a similar name matched wrongly.
