Summary
Plain-language read
In FY2026 Q2, TSMC filed 15 Labor Condition Applications (LCA), with all being certified. The majority of these applications were for Principal Engineer roles, accounting for approximately 67%. The top locations for these positions were San Jose, CA, and Austin, TX, representing 73% and 27% of the filings, respectively. Salary data indicates a median annual salary of $161,179, with a range from $127,234 to $186,472. Notably, there are no PERM applications filed by TSMC, which is important to consider as LCA certification does not equate to USCIS H-1B petition approval, and PERM certification does not guarantee green card approval.

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