Green-card filing pattern in this occupation
Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 5 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
DOL often reclassifies their job titles
The Department of Labor assigned a different occupation than this employer requested on 42% of its 12 wage determinations — against a 18% norm. The occupation sets the prevailing wage floor.Reclassification is routine and can reflect genuinely hybrid roles; it is not by itself evidence of underpayment.
Files H-1B transfers
19 transfer filings in the last year, covering 19 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
