Files H-1B any time — no cap, no lottery. The 2026 weighted-selection rule doesn't touch it, which makes this the strongest structural path for entry-level talent. Pay is often lower, but your odds of staying are dramatically higher.

Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

States it is exempt from the H-1B cap

In 33 Department of Labor filings, this employer states it is a nonprofit affiliated with an institution of higher education — one of the statutory grounds for exemption from the H-1B cap. Cap-exempt employers can file year-round without entering the lottery.Employer's own attestation on a Department of Labor wage determination, not a USCIS determination — exemption is decided per petition.

Green-card intent detected

Ochsner Clinic Foundation obtained a prevailing wage determination for Physicians, All Other in Slidell, LOUISIANA on 2026-06-16. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 6 days (2026-09-13), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Green-card follow-through: 93%

Of 14 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 503 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.

Files H-1B transfers

4 transfer filings in the last year, covering 4 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 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.
