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 follow-through: 50%
Of 8 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 4 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 485 days.100% 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.
DOL often reclassifies their job titles
The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 46% of its 13 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.
Files H-1B transfers
20 transfer filings in the last year, covering 20 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
