FAQ
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.

For The Salk Institute For Biological Studies H-1B research, the page summarizes imported DOL LCA labor-condition rows. For The Salk Institute For Biological Studies PERM research, it summarizes imported DOL permanent labor certification rows.

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.
