Methodology

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Employment & Training Administration: LCA disclosure files (public record). Imported quarterly and deduplicated; employer names are normalized for aggregation. Coverage: 2026-07 → 2026-09.

Case-status terms (Certified / Denied / Withdrawn) are the DOL’s own categories. Filing history indicates past sponsorship activity. It does not guarantee sponsorship for any specific role. This index is research, not legal advice.
