ANALYST REVIEW
13199%

A Department of Labor analyst has the application. This is the main queue, and it is where most pending PERM cases sit.

RECONSIDERATION APPEALS
11%

The employer has asked the same officer who denied the case to look at it again, within 30 days of the denial. The request can only use documents DOL already had, so new evidence can't be added to fix what the denial was based on.

None of this changes one case's wait: DOL works one national line. Where DOL is working now is the figure that does.

Filed today: a new case joins the same line as anyone's, behind 80,581 cases, and would be decided around March 15, 2027 (between February 23, 2027 and April 24, 2027). Estimate another date

Its median H-1B wage is $117,416 across 3,492 LCAs, 6.7% higher than its median PERM wage of $110,000 across 247 cases. Different forms, different years and different jobs sit behind the two medians, so this is a gap in what was filed, not a finding.

Of its 132 pending PERM cases, 1 (0.8%) sit outside DOL's normal queue: 1 under appeal. Where that sits among every employer.

Every case across these programs is in the search.

How these are counted

Medians are of the published rows with a usable wage, annualised from whatever unit the filing quoted, and withheld under 10 wages. DOL publishes no employer number, so filings are matched by the employer's legal name, read under the 2 spellings DOL's files use for it; another employer with the same legal name would be counted here too. The PERM is the green-card step; the wage request comes months before it, and the LCA is the separate form for an H-1B. DOL publishes each in its own file, and its live record shows what is still open.

What its H-1B LCAs were for

From DOL's quarterly LCA files: 3,496 LCAs filed by Micron Technology, Inc., 3,447 of them certified with the worker breakdown on Form ETA-9035.

New hires and transfers

1,670 positions for new employment, 423 moving here from another employer.

  • New employment 7a 1,670 · 48%
  • Change of employer 7e 423 · 12%
  • Continuing 7b 1,093 · 32%
  • Change in previous employment 7c 17 · 1%
  • Concurrent employment 7d 1 · 1%
  • Amended petition 7f 246 · 7%

Shares of the 3,447 worker positions requested. These are positions on certified LCAs, not people hired: DOL certifies an LCA before any petition, and many are never used.

What each box on the form means
  • New employment (7a). Starting with a new employer.
  • Change of employer (7e). Moving here from another employer, keeping the visa classification already held.
  • Continuing (7b). Staying with the same employer.
  • Change in previous employment (7c). Same employer, no material change to the job duties.
  • Concurrent employment (7d). Adding this employer while keeping another.
  • Amended petition (7f). Same employer, with a material change to the job duties.

Form ETA-9035, Section B, Item 7, in DOL's words from its LCA record layout. One LCA can tick several boxes.

Wage level it chose

  • Level I 143 · 5%
  • Level II 1,494 · 47%
  • Level III 788 · 25%
  • Level IV 739 · 23%

Shares of the 3,164 certified LCAs that named an OES level. The form asks for the level only when the employer set the wage from the OES survey itself; 283 of 3,447 used another source, such as a DOL wage determination or another survey. Level I is entry, Level IV fully competent.

What it declared on Section H

H-1B-dependent
No
Found a willful violator
No

As answered on its newest LCA, filed June 22, 2026. Declared H-1B-dependent on 0 of 3,310 LCAs, and a willful violator on 0 of 3,492. Both are the employer's own answers.

What the two answers mean

H-1B-dependent (20 CFR 655.736(a)): 25 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees in the US and more than 7 H-1B workers; 26 to 50 and more than 12; or 51 or more, with H-1B workers equal to at least 15% of them.

Willful violator (655.736(f)): DOL or the Justice Department found a willful failure or a misrepresentation of a material fact in the five years before the LCA was filed.

Either one adds two promises to the employer's LCAs: not to displace US workers, and to recruit US workers before hiring H-1B workers (655.738, 655.739). They don't apply to an LCA used only for exempt workers, paid at least $60,000 a year or holding a related master's degree (655.737). The rule on eCFR

Visas these LCAs support: H-1B 3,492 · E-3 (Australia) 1 · H-1B1 (Singapore) 3. E-3 and H-1B1 use the same LCA as the H-1B.

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.

What they file, and where

A rank says how much. It says nothing about what the work is, which is the part a job offer from this sponsor turns on.

What the jobs are

Electronics Engineers, Except Computer

SOC 17-2072.00 · 41 filings, 17% of everything they file · 100.0% approved

How this is counted

These are the 6 occupations with the most filings, 141 of 248 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.

Notes on these numbers

What this rank counts, and what it doesn't

DOL prints the name that went on the form, so one sponsor can appear under several. The 2 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 sponsor; some are a different one. Rank #152 counts this page's cases only.

15 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 Electronics Engineers, Except Computer, 41 of 248. The median offered wage moves almost entirely with what roles they 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.
Volume doesn’t change the wait
DOL works a single national queue, oldest first, whoever filed the case, so these 248 filings bought no priority: a company with four thousand waits exactly as long as one with three.
The name is a legal entity
DOL prints whatever went on the form, and here that name ranks 152. A group that files through several subsidiaries appears as several rows, and one that files everything through a parent appears once, so a rank is a rank among printed names rather than among companies.
A median over 230 decided cases
The queue is national and first in, first out, so this figure follows when the cases were filed as much as it follows the sponsor.
Two sources, and they do not add up
The filing counts come from DOL's disclosure files, where every row already carries a decision date, so nothing pending is in them. The queue figures come from a live per-case tracker with its own coverage and its own as-of date. Subtracting one from the other gives a number that means nothing. The worksite on most of these is ID. Where the queue stands overall 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

Case data: DOL quarterly disclosure files (flag.dol.gov) · data through Jun 30, 2026 · quarterly

Employers and firms: Derived from DOL's disclosure files · data through Jun 30, 2026 · rebuilt with each quarterly load

Per-case statuses: flag.dol.gov/recaptcha/caseStatus (DOL, direct) · data through Oct 19, 2026 · daily

What each source includes

Case data: Decided PERM cases only. A case still waiting isn't in here, so counts and durations describe finished cases.

Employers and firms: Employers, law firms and occupations ranked from decided cases only.

Per-case statuses: Every PERM case DOL indexes, pending included. No wage, law firm or worksite: DOL reveals those only when a case is published.
