Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 16 green-card filings in this occupation, 94% were for a worker who already held the job.

Third-party placement is common here

42% of this employer's visa filings place the worker at a client company rather than at the employer itself, across 24 clients. Your visa, salary band and layoff exposure would follow the employer of record, not the client.Most common: Stellantis N.V. · Zoox Inc · StellantisFiles as an H-1B dependent employer.

Files H-1B transfers

28 transfer filings in the last year, covering 28 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
