Note: This page reports Labor Condition Application(LCA) and Labor Certification(LC) filed by Kroger Limited Partnership I for H1B Visa and Green Card. The data only indicates the number of applications filed by Kroger Limited Partnership I. It does not mean that Kroger Limited Partnership I actually got the visa and hired the workers.

Labor Condition Application(LCA) is different from Labor Certification(LC). LC is for employment based green card while LCA is for H1B visa. Our LCA data not only includes those filed for new h1b visa applications, but also those for H1B Visa tranfer and renew.

Kroger Limited Partnership I applied for 377 LC and LCA since 2001. But this does not mean they really hired 377 foreign workers during this period. The visa application might have been denied. When the employee renew or transfer their H1B Visa, they will also file a new LCA application. Department of Labor(DOL) typically certifies more than 3 times the number of foreign work requests than the number of H-1B visas issued by USCIS. So there is no one to one relationship between the number of workers certified by the DOL and the number of H1B work visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
