Does Github sponsor H-1B workers?
VisaSignal shows official LCA filing activity found in the imported dataset. That activity can indicate historical immigration-related hiring signals, but it is not a promise of sponsorship.

Summary
Plain-language read
In FY2026 Q2, GitHub filed 7 Labor Condition Applications (LCA), primarily for roles such as Senior Software Engineer and Staff Product Manager. The majority of these applications were concentrated in Bellevue, WA, followed by Honolulu, HI, and Sunnyvale, CA. The salary statistics indicate a median salary of $196,100, with a range from $177,000 to $270,000. All applications were certified, but it is important to note that LCA certification does not guarantee USCIS H-1B petition approval, and there are no PERM applications filed. Always consider that this information is not legal advice.

Employers with imported DOL LCA or PERM filings that also list Washington worksites, weighted toward overlapping roles. Shared filing footprints are a research and discovery signal, not a hiring or sponsorship guarantee.
LCA and PERM rows are filing signals, not USCIS approvals, green-card approvals, legal advice, or outcome predictions.
FAQ
Common questions
Does Github file PERM cases?
The PERM count reflects imported DOL PERM disclosure rows for this normalized employer. Raw employer names and aliases are preserved so users can inspect normalization confidence.
What does VisaSignal show for Github H-1B and PERM?
For Github H-1B research, the page summarizes imported DOL LCA labor-condition rows. For Github PERM research, it summarizes imported DOL permanent labor certification rows. Both include roles, worksites, wage signals, case-status mix, and the latest source period.
Does an LCA certification mean an H-1B petition was approved?
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.
Does a PERM certification mean a green card was approved?
No. PERM certification is one step in an employment-based green card process. It does not mean a green card, I-140 petition, or adjustment of status was approved.
Can this data prove an employer will sponsor a candidate?
No. Official filing history can show recent activity, roles, worksites, and wage signals, but it does not guarantee future sponsorship or predict legal outcomes.
