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.

Green-card follow-through: 74%

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.
