Note: Above table reports Labor Condition Application(LCA) and Labor Certification(LC) filed by Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research for H1B visa and green card. The data only indicates the number of applications filed by Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research. It does not mean that Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research 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 tranfers and renews.

Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research has applied for 699 LC and LCA since 2001. But this does not mean they really hired 699 foreign workers during this period. The visa applications might have been denied. When an employee renews or transfers his H1B visa or change work location under some circumstances, he 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 H1B 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).
