from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Third-party placement is common here
28% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 2 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: BCBSFLFiles as an H-1B dependent employer.
Files H-1B transfers
1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 11 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.
