How to read this score
- The score reflects historical filing patterns, not a guarantee of future sponsorship.
- This is a single, company-wide view. Sponsorship can vary by role and team.
- A low grade can mean “does not sponsor” or simply “a smaller employer with little public LCA history.”
Built from Department of Labor LCA and USCIS public data. Full methodology.
