Green-card intent detected
Altera Corporation obtained a prevailing wage determination for Electronics Engineers, Except Computer in San Jose, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-10. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 2 days (2026-09-07), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.+2 more active determinations on file
Files H-1B transfers
13 transfer filings in the last year, covering 13 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.
