An employer's page now carries everything it filed, under whatever spelling DOL printed.
One employer, every program
Employer pages used to match other programs by the start of a name, so Intel's page counted LCAs filed by three other companies. Each spelling in each program now belongs to exactly one page. Endings such as Limited and Incorporated are set aside when names are matched, and names that differ only in spacing are one company, so Wal-Mart and Walmart are one employer. Every employer with filings in another program and no PERM record has a page of its own, and law firm pages show the firm's H-1B and wage-request work too.
The sponsor finder
The sponsor finder ranks PERM sponsors on each part of their record separately: approval rate, recent filings, H-1B volume, transfers, senior wage levels and USCIS approvals. There's no single score, because the parts measure different things. Dated warnings sit beside them: an active debarment, recent layoff notices, an H-1B dependent declaration.
Jobs and places
- Occupation pages say what O*NET describes the job as, what BLS reports it pays, DOL's four wage levels where it's filed, and BLS's outlook.
- City pages name the county, metro and DOL wage area, the regional price level from BEA, and the H-1B LCAs filed there.
- Where H-1B wages come from: how often employers use DOL's survey, a private survey or a union contract.
- Visa issuances: the State Department's monthly counts since March 2017.
- EAD extension: whether a work permit is extended past its expiry date, under the rules as written.
Getting to your case
- Case status names the estimated decision date first, with a button to be emailed when the case changes.
- Employer pages, law firm pages, filing months and every article lead to a case-number box.
- A law firm can claim its page; its own words show only after review.
