from this employer's Department of Labor filings
States it is exempt from the H-1B cap
In 14 Department of Labor filings, this employer states it is a nonprofit or governmental research organization — one of the statutory grounds for exemption from the H-1B cap. Cap-exempt employers can file year-round without entering the lottery.Employer's own attestation on a Department of Labor wage determination, not a USCIS determination — exemption is decided per petition.
Files H-1B transfers
22 transfer filings in the last year, covering 22 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
