from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 8 green-card filings in this occupation, 88% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card intent detected
Reddit, Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Software Developers in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-11. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 3 days (2026-09-08), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.
Files H-1B transfers
35 transfer filings in the last year, covering 35 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 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.
