How this is counted
These are the 6 occupations with the most filings, 248 of 271 cases between them. The occupation on a PERM is the SOC code on the form, which is the job as DOL classifies it rather than the job title on the offer. DOL still accepts two SOC vintages, so one job can appear twice under two codes; the code is printed for exactly that reason.
Where the jobs are
- Texas 100
- New Jersey 67
- Maryland 37
- California 19
- New York 10

Why no approval rate
A band is a slice of the volume ranking rather than a population picked for having enough decided cases, so a band rate would be solid at the top of the list and noise at the bottom, under one heading.
Where this sits in the ranking
Ranked 155 of 5,571 by volume: 154 filed at least as many cases, and 5,416 filed no more.

Notes on these numbers
What this rank counts, and what it doesn't
DOL prints the name that went on the form, so one firm can appear under several. 1 other spelling of this name was folded into this page and its cases are counted here. The 10 entries below start the same way and were not merged, because the difference between them is more than a mistyped letter. Some may be the same firm; some are a different one. Rank #155 counts this page's cases only.
- John Clement PLC 123 filings
- JOHN NICELLI & ASSOCIATES LTD 18 filings
- JOHN W LAWIT LLC 5 filings
- JOHN MURPHY AND ASSOCIATES PC 4 filings
- John Chung Law LLC 3 filings
- John D. Colbert & Associates 2 filings
- John E. Storms, Jr., P.A. 2 filings
- John P. Cook & Associates 2 filings
- John Cloutier Law Group 1 filing
- JOHN ONAL AND ASSOCIATES PC 1 filing
161 filings sit on those pages rather than this one. The methodology has the rule that decides which spellings merge.
What these numbers don't say
5 notes
- The wage is the job, not the payer
- Their filings are led by Software Developers, 163 of 271. The median offered wage moves almost entirely with what roles their clients file. A software developer and a poultry cutter are different numbers wherever they are filed, so this figure is not plotted against the field and no percentile is given for it: that comparison would rank occupation mix and call it pay. Wages by occupation are on the wages page.
- Nothing here is waiting
- All 271 of the cases on this page carry a decision date, because every row in DOL's disclosure files does, so a case still in the queue is in none of these counts. The live tracker that does see pending cases records the employer on each one and not the firm, so a firm's current queue cannot be broken out at all. Where the queue stands overall is on the processing times page.
- The approval rate barely separates firms
- This firm is at 99.6%. Across every firm with enough decided cases to carry a rate the median is above 99%, and hundreds have no denials at all. Placing near the top of that axis mostly means being level with the rest of it.
- None of this measures the advice
- It measures filings that DOL approved or denied. Whether the case was worth filing, what it cost, and how the firm handled an audit aren’t in these files.
- A median over 269 decided cases
- DOL works one national queue, oldest first, whoever filed the case, so this says when the firm's cases were filed at least as much as anything about the firm. Where the queue stands today is on the processing times page.
The window these figures cover: DOL's PERM disclosure files for fiscal years 2024 to 2026, through the third quarter of 2026, 373,939 decided cases. Nothing pending is counted here. How each figure is built
Filings newer than DOL's last published file can't be attributed to this firm until DOL publishes them. The live list on the case search page carries them by employer.

LCA disclosures: Certified and denied H-1B labor condition applications only, with the wage offered.
Wage determinations: Decided prevailing wage requests only, with the wage DOL determined. Pending requests are absent.
