H-1B comparison
Compare official DOL LCA filing signals for Intel and Nvidia — H-1B activity, median wages, top roles, worksites, and source period. Use it for employer research, not as a sponsorship promise or case-outcome prediction.
Side-by-side
Imported DOL LCA labor-condition signals compared field by field. LCA certification is not USCIS H-1B petition approval.

| Imported PERM rows | 416 | 881Higher |

Wage distribution
Observed wage range
Wage values from matching LCA rows that state an annual pay unit.
Median $133,432
2 of 3,145 matching rows with a wage figure are excluded (2 stating an hourly, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly unit) — DOL publishes the pay unit per row, and the figures are not interchangeable, so they are excluded rather than converted.

Source and methodology
VisaSignal compares normalized fields from official DOL OFLC LCA disclosure rows. Counts, roles, worksites, and wages reflect the imported source period; they do not measure USCIS petition approvals or future sponsorship intent.

FAQ
Nvidia shows more imported LCA rows (4,200) than Intel (3,145) across the periods VisaSignal has imported. A higher LCA count is an activity signal, not a promise of sponsorship or hiring.
Nvidia reports the higher median LCA wage ($187,574) versus Intel ($133,432) across imported rows. Wage fields come from DOL LCA records and may not reflect total compensation.
Both employers appear in the imported LCA data for roles such as Software Engineer. Overlapping job titles can indicate similar hiring areas, but they are filing signals rather than open-position listings.
No. A DOL-certified LCA is not the same as USCIS H-1B petition approval. It is an official labor-condition filing signal that should be interpreted with that limit.
No. Official filing history can show recent activity, roles, worksites, and wage signals, but it does not guarantee future sponsorship or predict legal outcomes.
LCA and PERM rows are filing signals, not USCIS approvals, green-card approvals, legal advice, or outcome predictions.
