Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card intent detected

MONGODB, INC. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Software Developers in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-29. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 21 days (2026-09-26), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Green-card follow-through: 59%

Of 17 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 7 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 495 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

16 transfer filings in the last year, covering 16 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.
