Wage range
Normalized from 2 imported LCA rows that state an annual pay unit — hourly, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly filings are excluded rather than converted. DOL-disclosed offered and prevailing wages still span different roles and worksites, so read the band as wage-distribution context, not a guaranteed offer or legal minimum.
3 of 5 matching rows with a wage figure are excluded (3 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.

FAQ
The Smart Ocean LCA page summarizes imported Department of Labor labor-condition rows for this normalized employer, including roles, worksites, wages, case statuses, and source periods.
No. LCA certification is an official DOL labor-condition filing signal, but USCIS decides H-1B petitions separately. Use the page as employer research context, not as an approval record.
Yes — Smart Ocean has a documented H-1B filing history: official US Department of Labor disclosure data lists 5 H-1B labor condition application (LCA) records for this employer. The most recent imported disclosure period is FY2026 Q3. An LCA is the labor-condition step an employer must file with DOL before USCIS can approve an H-1B petition, so these rows are documented sponsorship activity — not a promise that Smart Ocean will sponsor a new hire, and not evidence that any petition was approved. USCIS decides each petition separately. Verified against official DOL OFLC disclosure data on 2026-08-09.
Yes. This Smart Ocean LCA lookup view shows imported official DOL labor-condition rows for the employer, including job titles, worksites, wage fields, case statuses, and source periods. For a broader LCA lookup across employers, roles, SOC codes, cities, and states, use the LCA and PERM database lookup.
For searches like "Smart Ocean H-1B salary", VisaSignal normalizes the imported LCA wage fields into a range — the 25th-to-75th-percentile band plus the lowest and highest observed values — instead of a single number. These are DOL-disclosed offered and prevailing wages spanning different roles, worksites, and wage units, so read the band as wage-distribution context, not a guaranteed offer or legal minimum.
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. 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.
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.
