Employer immigration record

from this employer's Department of Labor filings

States it is exempt from the H-1B cap

In 9 Department of Labor filings, this employer states it is a nonprofit or governmental research organization — one of the statutory grounds for exemption from the H-1B cap. Cap-exempt employers can file year-round without entering the lottery.Employer's own attestation on a Department of Labor wage determination, not a USCIS determination — exemption is decided per petition.

Green-card intent detected

The Jackson Laboratory obtained a prevailing wage determination for Software Developers in Bar Harbor, MAINE on 2026-06-23. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 13 days (2026-09-20), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.+1 more active determination on file

Files H-1B transfers

1 transfer filing in the last year, covering 1 worker. Median labor-condition decision: 8 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.
