Over half million labor petitions for H1-B visa processed in 9 months

We have published all labor applications(LCA) filed by U.S. employers during the first 9 months of fiscal year 2018 through our legacy database system.

From October 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, Department of Labor processed 541,555 LCA for H-1B visa jobs: 7,159 were denied, 37,054 were withdrawn.

U.S. employers still submitted large number of LCA after April when the annual quota for H-1B Visa was used up. The total number is estimated to be over 140K at the end of July. Click here to understand why.

Our new visa job database is now updated daily with full copies of original petitions. However, we still maintain the legacy system which is updated once every quarter with case summary only. Some cases might not appear on both systems due to various reasons.

U.S. employers are always looking for skilled workers, even in holiday seasons. Please polish your resume and update your career profiles regularly.
