Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 333 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Of 318 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 83 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 508 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.
Reported a layoff in this occupation
In a green-card filing decided 2026-05-14, this employer stated it had laid off workers in Software Developers (CA) during the preceding six months. 3 such filings on record.Describes the period before that filing, not necessarily today. Unlike WARN notices this is occupation-specific and federal.
Files H-1B transfers
33 transfer filings in the last year, covering 33 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
