Does Google 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, Google filed 80 Labor Condition Applications (LCA), primarily for roles such as Software Engineer (60%) and Research Scientist (5%). The majority of these applications were concentrated in Mountain View, CA, and Sunnyvale, CA. The median salary for these positions was $196,000, with a range from $148,000 to $337,000. Notably, there were no PERM applications filed during this period. It's important to remember that LCA certification does not equate to USCIS H-1B petition approval, and PERM certification does not guarantee green card approval. This information is not legal advice.

Google vs peer H-1B sponsors

FAQ
Common questions
Does Google 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 Google H-1B and PERM?
For Google H-1B research, the page summarizes imported DOL LCA labor-condition rows. For Google 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.
