Green-card intent detected

Blend360, LLC obtained a prevailing wage determination for Data Scientists in Columbia, MARYLAND on 2026-06-24. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 15 days (2026-09-21), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Files H-1B transfers

2 transfer filings in the last year, covering 2 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.
