Sponsors for Chefs and Head Cooks (SOC 35-1011).

These employers filed PERM cases. Whether one will sponsor you depends on the job and on them; DOL's records can't say. Debarred employers are left out unless you ask for them.

Filings, approval, wage and typical decision are for this job and place, from DOL's published files. Waiting now and the newest filing are the whole employer, from DOL's live record.

How these are counted

A job is its SOC occupation as DOL's files code it, both the dotted and plain spellings. Filings, the approval rate, the median offered wage and the typical decision are from DOL's published PERM files for that job and state (every outcome counted, as on each employer's page). A rate shows over 30 or more decided cases and a median over 10 or more, the employer pages' own bars. Filings in the last 12 months and cases waiting now include DOL's live record, which names no job or worksite, so they count every job. H-1B LCAs come from DOL's LCA files, read under every spelling of the employer's name. "Transfers" is the share of certified H-1B positions that were a change of employer, and "senior" the share of LCAs at wage level III or IV (50% or more), each over the most recent 24 months of LCAs this site holds that detail for. "Likely cap-exempt" is an inference from the industry code a college or university files under; USCIS decides who's exempt. With every state chosen, State is the one most of an employer's cases name.
