Does an H-1B filing mean a visa was granted?

No. A Labor Condition Application is the wage-and-worksite filing an employer makes before petitioning. Many certified LCAs never become petitions, and an LCA is not a visa.

Is a certified filing the same as USCIS approval?

No. Certification is a Department of Labor outcome. The I-129 petition is decided separately by USCIS and is not in this dataset.

Does a withdrawn filing count against a sponsor?

No. A withdrawal usually means the role was filled or dropped, so it is not a compliance signal and is not counted against a sponsor in the sponsor-health score.

Is the wage shown what an employee takes home?

No. Offered and prevailing wages are the figures on the filing, before tax, bonus or equity, and they describe the role rather than an individual paycheck.

Is the most recent fiscal year complete?

Not necessarily. The Department of Labor releases disclosure data quarterly, so counts for the latest fiscal years can still rise in a later release.

Why are some occupations or states missing?

Combinations backed by fewer than 25 filings, or fewer than 3 distinct employers, are not published at all. Small cells are omitted entirely rather than shown with unreliable numbers.

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 Withdrawn filings are not counted against a sponsor, because a withdrawal usually means the role was filled or dropped.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.
