Employer immigration record

Texas Tech University obtained a prevailing wage determination for Business Teachers, Postsecondary in Lubbock, TEXAS on 2026-06-23. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 13 days (2026-09-20), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Files H-1B transfers

12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 41 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.
