ANALYST REVIEW
9899%

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

RFI ISSUED
11%

DOL has asked the employer for more documentation. The deadline is the one printed on the RFI letter, because DOL doesn't publish a standard response window for these.

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

Of its 99 pending PERM cases, 1 (1.0%) sit outside DOL's normal queue: 1 at RFI. Where that sits among every employer.

What its H-1B LCAs were for

From DOL's quarterly LCA files: 3,817 LCAs filed by THE BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP, INC., 3,608 of them certified with the worker breakdown on Form ETA-9035.

New hires and transfers

5,664 positions for new employment, 270 moving here from another employer.

  • Level III 1,389 · 39%
  • Level IV 1,059 · 30%

Shares of the 3,576 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; 32 of 3,608 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 19, 2026. Declared H-1B-dependent on 0 of 3,346 LCAs, and a willful violator on 0 of 3,668. Both are the employer's own answers.

What the two answers mean

Visas these LCAs support: H-1B 3,667 · E-3 (Australia) 71 · H-1B1 (Chile) 16 · H-1B1 (Singapore) 63. E-3 and H-1B1 use the same LCA as the H-1B.

Notes on these numbers

What these numbers don't say

5 notes
The wage is the job, not the payer
Their filings are led by Management Analysts, 341 of 594. 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 594 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 56. 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 445 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 NY. 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
