Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 11 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card intent detected
NVIDIA Corporation obtained a prevailing wage determination for Software Developers in Santa Clara, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-08. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 0 days (2026-09-05), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.+2 more active determinations on file
Green-card follow-through: 92%
Of 382 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 29 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 497 days.97% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
620 transfer filings in the last year, covering 1241 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
