How to read this

An LCA is not a visa. It is the wage-and-worksite filing an employer makes before petitioning. Many certified LCAs never become petitions.
Certification is a DOL outcome, not a USCIS approval — the I-129 petition is decided separately and is not in this dataset.
Withdrawn is not denied. A withdrawal usually means the role was filled or dropped, so it is not counted against a sponsor here.
Offered and prevailing wages are not take-home pay. They are the figures on the filing, before tax, bonus or equity.
Recent years may be incomplete. DOL releases disclosure data quarterly, so counts for the latest fiscal years can still rise in a later release.
Combinations backed by fewer than 25 filings, or fewer than 3 employers, are not published at all.

How the sponsor-health signal is calculated

The badge blends each sponsor’s DOL certification rate (weighted toward the last five fiscal years), its denial rate, and its recent filing volume. Withdrawn filings are not counted against a sponsor, because a withdrawal usually means the role was filled or dropped. Sponsors with too few or too old filings show “Limited data” rather than a score. It reflects DOL paperwork outcomes only — not USCIS approval, pay quality, or an endorsement. Full methodology.
