Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 8 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card intent detected

Whatnot Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Data Scientists in Culver City, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-08. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 0 days (2026-09-05), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.

Green-card follow-through: 80%

Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 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.

Files H-1B transfers

25 transfer filings in the last year, covering 25 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 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.

About the role

  • 🚀 Join the Future of Commerce with Whatnot!
  • We're one of the fastest growing marketplaces and were recently named the #1 Best Startup Employer in America by Forbes.
  • The core of the job is running intake end to end - logging, triaging, and routing every new matter, drafting first responses to users, and keeping matter tracking airtight so nothing slips.

Responsibilities

  • Work From Home Support
  • All Whatnauts are expected to develop a deep understanding of our product.

Requirements

  • You have prior experience with demand letter intake and response drafting, or other structured legal correspondence workflows, and a sense for when to escalate versus when to use a template.

  • In-house litigation, legal project management, or regulatory experience is strongly preferred.

  • Strong Communication Skills.
