Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 6 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Files H-1B transfers

12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
