Of 7 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 2 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 497 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.

Files H-1B transfers

12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
