Mississippi State Department Of Health filed 16 labor condition applications (LCAs) for H-1B visas and 0 labor certifications (LCs) for green cards during fiscal years 2022 - 2024. Mississippi State Department Of Health was ranked number 12,294 among all visa sponsors. Additionally, 1 LCA was denied or withdrawn during the same period.

Before Mississippi State Department Of Health can hire foreign workers, whether permanently or temporarily, it must submit labor certifications to the Department of Labor (DOL). These certifications confirm compliance with wage requirements for the specified job locations.The reports below summarize Labor Condition Applications (LCA) for H-1B visas and Labor Certifications (LC) for green cards filed by Mississippi State Department Of Health. This data represents only the number of applications submitted and does not guarantee visa approvals or worker hires.

The LCA data includes applications for various purposes: new employment, continuation or changes to previously approved employment, new concurrent employment, changes in employer, and amended petitions. Typically, only LCAs for new employment require an H-1B visa cap if the employer is not cap-exempt.For example, Mississippi State Department Of Health submitted 25 LCAs and LCs during fiscal years 2022 - 2024. However, this figure does not necessarily reflect the number of foreign workers hired, as visa applications can be denied. Additionally, employees renewing or transferring H-1B visas or changing work locations may need to file new LCAs.

The DOL generally certifies more than three times the number of foreign worker requests compared to the H-1B visas issued by USCIS. Therefore, there is no direct correlation between the number of workers certified by the DOL and the H-1B visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

H-1B Visa History

This table summarizes H-1B visa petition decisions made by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the U.S. Department of State, not the Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) certified by the Department of Labor (DOL).

Year New Approval New Denial Continuation Approval Continuation Denial Change Employer Approval Change Employer Denial Total Approval Total Denial Total H-1B*
2025 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1
2023 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2
2022 4 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 4

* Why are the numbers different? LCAs are a prerequisite to filing H-1B visa petitions, but not all certified LCAs lead to actual H-1B filings. Similarly, one LCA can support multiple visa petitions (e.g., for extensions, amendments, or changes in employer). Therefore, visa totals may differ significantly from LCA totals.
Moreover, employers sometimes use different names when submitting LCAs and H-1B visa petitions. This can cause discrepancies in our system. To get a complete and accurate picture, please use the search function to explore both LCA and visa data.
Total H-1B includes all types of visa petitions: new employment, continuation, change of employer, as well as other actions not listed in the table, such as concurrent filings and amendments.
