Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Files H-1B transfers

2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 32 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
