How do I check if a company sponsors H-1B visas?
Search the company in the checker on this page. Labor Condition Application (LCA) rows in the official DOL OFLC disclosure data show that the employer undertook the DOL prerequisite for H-1B petition activity; they do not prove a later Form I-129 was filed or approved. Open the employer page to see filing counts, roles, worksites, wage signals, and the source period behind each number.
What does an H-1B sponsor checker actually check?
This checker runs against imported official US Department of Labor OFLC LCA and PERM disclosure files. A certified LCA is required before an employer may file an H-1B petition, while permanent labor certification generally comes before an employer's immigrant petition. The checker does not establish either later USCIS outcome, and every count keeps its official source period visible.
The company has no LCA filings here — does that mean it will not sponsor H-1B?
Not necessarily. No imported rows means no filings appeared under that name in the covered source periods. The employer may file under a different legal entity name, be new to sponsorship, or simply not have filed recently — so double-check the spelling and try the legal name before drawing a conclusion.
Does a certified LCA mean the company will sponsor me?
No. A certified LCA is a historical labor-condition filing, not a commitment to hire or sponsor any particular candidate, and it says nothing about USCIS petition outcomes. Use filing history to prioritize research targets, then verify current openings and sponsorship policy directly with the employer.
Can I check whether a company sponsors green cards too?
You can switch the program filter to PERM to look up the employer's permanent-labor-certification records, which are tracked separately from H-1B LCA filings. Comparing both programs shows DOL filing activity in the temporary and permanent tracks; it does not prove a USCIS petition outcome or that a worker received a green card.
Is this H-1B sponsor checker free, and how current is the data?
Yes, the checker is free. The underlying LCA and PERM records are rebuilt from the official DOL OFLC disclosure releases, and each employer view keeps the source period and import recency visible. The source-status page shows exactly when each dataset was last refreshed and verified.
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.
