Too few cases for a rate
6 decided filings: too few for an approval rate.
Why
Across every PERM case DOL decided in this window, 3.20% were denied. At that rate a file this size comes back clean most of the time whatever the sponsor did, so a percentage would be a fact about how few cases there are. Telling a clean record apart from the field takes about 117 decided cases.

Filed today: a new case joins the same line as anyone's, behind 83,522 cases, and would be decided around February 24, 2027 (between January 30, 2027 and April 17, 2027). Estimate another date

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.
How it compares with other sponsors
Each figure ranked only among sponsors with enough cases for it to mean something. No single score: they measure different things.
USCIS H-1B approval rate, last 3 fiscal years
99.5% of 196 USCIS decisions
Higher than 59% of the 5,803 sponsors with 20 or more USCIS decisions.

Likely cap-exempt, by inference. 100% of its coded PERM filings name NAICS 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools), and colleges hire H-1B workers outside the lottery (8 U.S.C. 1184(g)(5)(A)). Whether this employer qualifies is USCIS's call.

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 actually turns on.
What the jobs are

How this is counted
These are the 5 occupations with the most filings, 6 of 6 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.
The industry they declared
Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools
NAICS 611310 · 6 filings
How this is counted
The NAICS code the employer entered on the form, with the Census Bureau's title for it. DOL publishes the code alone, and an employer can file under more than one.

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

What these numbers don't say
5 notes
- The wage is the job, not the payer
- Their filings are led by Business Teachers, Postsecondary, 2 of 6. 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 6 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 8,114. 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 6 decided cases
- That’s a middle of a handful, and it moves entirely with which months those few cases were filed in.
- 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 IL. Where the queue stands overall is on the processing times page.
The window these figures cover: DOL's FY2026 Q3 and FY2025 Q4 and New Form FY2024 Q4 and FY2024 Q4 PERM disclosure files, 373,939 decided cases. Nothing pending is counted here. How each figure is built
