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.

Green-card intent detected

Applied Intuition, Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Industrial Engineers in Sunnyvale, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-24. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 16 days (2026-09-21), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Files H-1B transfers

49 transfer filings in the last year, covering 49 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
