from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Files H-1B transfers
12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 382 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.
