DOL OFLC disclosure data and interpretation limits

VisaSignal is designed for careful research: it keeps DOL OFLC performance data, FLAG timing context, and source caveats visible without turning filing data into predictions.

DOL performance data is OFLC's quarterly disclosure layer. As of , this guide separates 5 public source checks into 3 roles: primary disclosure records, queue context, and supplementary petition decisions.

Employer names can appear in multiple spellings across government files. The site groups likely aliases conservatively, keeps original source context available, and shows source periods so you can judge whether a page is current enough for your research. Last verified: .

Source crosswalk

What each official source can answer

The same phrase — government immigration data — can refer to record disclosures, queue timing, or petition decisions. This crosswalk keeps those evidence classes separate.

DOL OFLC disclosure data

PERM, LCA/H-1B/H-1B1/E-3, worksite, wage, record layout, and source snapshot imports.

FLAG processing times

General processing-time context for PERM pages. This is not a case-specific prediction.

USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub

Supplementary source only when a current downloadable dataset is confirmed.

Source checks behind public data pages

These checks keep the official-source trail explicit for the source-status, salary, sponsor, and PERM timing surfaces.

How to read it

What the numbers can and cannot say

Counts show activity. A higher count usually means more public filing activity, not more available jobs.

Wages show filing context. They may differ from total compensation, bonuses, equity, or future offers.

Statuses need context. Certification, denial, withdrawal, and pending states mean different things across LCA and PERM.

FAQ

Common questions

What is DOL performance data?

DOL performance data is the Office of Foreign Labor Certification's cumulative quarterly disclosure layer. Its public files are historical extracts from OFLC case-management systems, including LCA, PERM, and prevailing-wage records; they are not a live feed of pending case activity.

Which DOL performance disclosure fields does VisaSignal use?

VisaSignal uses the public LCA and PERM disclosure fields needed for employer, job-title, SOC, worksite, offered-wage, prevailing-wage, source-period, and case-status research. The exact fields differ by program and file layout, so the site preserves program and source context instead of merging every value into one universal record type.

Is DOL performance data a live LCA or PERM case-status tracker?

No. The performance-data files are periodic public disclosures. A current case-status lookup is a different DOL service, and FLAG processing times are aggregate queue context rather than a prediction for one LCA or PERM application.

LCA and PERM rows are filing signals, not USCIS approvals, green-card approvals, legal advice, or outcome predictions.
