Does Yelp 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
Yelp has filed 31 Labor Condition Applications (LCA) in FY2026 Q2, with a notable focus on roles such as Software Engineer, which comprises over 61% of applications. The majority of these applications are concentrated in San Francisco, CA. The median salary for these positions is $225,000, with a range from $164,800 to $300,000. Most applications have been certified, although a significant number were withdrawn. It's important to note that LCA certification does not guarantee USCIS H-1B petition approval, and PERM certification does not equate to green card approval. This information is not legal advice.

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