State sponsor index
This view uses official DOL LCA worksite-state fields for District of Columbia, so it is best for spotting where filing activity appears. It is not a promise that an employer will sponsor future roles.
H-1B sponsors in District of Columbia: official US Department of Labor disclosure data lists 50 recently active employers with District of Columbia worksites, concentrated in New York, NY, Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA — 49 with H-1B labor condition application (LCA) filings and 39 that also show PERM permanent labor certification (green-card) filings. Across those sponsors the median reported wage is $132,933 a year. Retrieved from official US Department of Labor OFLC disclosure data on 2026-08-09.
These are filing records, not job offers. The wage figure is the median of each employer's own median reported LCA wage, so it describes the level District of Columbia sponsors file at — not what any individual worker earns — and a certified filing is a Department of Labor step, never proof that USCIS approved a petition or that the employer will sponsor a new hire.

FAQ
VisaSignal lists employers with imported DOL LCA rows that include District of Columbia as the worksite state. That is a state-level filing signal, not a promise that an employer is currently hiring or will sponsor a future role.
Start with the employer filing counts, then open individual employers to compare roles, worksites, wage signals, PERM activity, and source periods. The same employer can appear in several states when official LCA rows list multiple worksite locations.
No. A certified LCA is a Department of Labor labor-condition filing signal. USCIS decides H-1B petitions separately, so state sponsor pages should be used as research context rather than approval records.
The District of Columbia filing snapshot rolls up the most frequent job titles and worksite cities across the employers shown, using the role and city fields from official DOL LCA and PERM disclosure rows. In recent District of Columbia filings, the worksite cities that appear most often are New York, NY, Washington, DC, San Francisco, CA, Bellevue, WA. The most common job titles are Software Engineer, Software Engineer II, Manager, Software Engineer (Multiple Positions). Read it as where recent filing activity clusters in District of Columbia, not as a ranking of which employers are easiest to get sponsored by.
Across the District of Columbia employers shown here, the median reported LCA wage is $132,933 a year, taken from the wage fields on official DOL disclosure rows and verified on 2026-08-09. It is a median of each employer's own median, so it describes the wage level District of Columbia sponsors file at rather than what any individual worker earns, and DOL wage fields exclude bonuses, equity, and other compensation. The roles behind these filings are mostly Software Engineer, Software Engineer II, Manager, Software Engineer (Multiple Positions).
Yes. Every District of Columbia employer shown here is built from free, public DOL OFLC disclosure data, so there is no paywall or login. VisaSignal layers the worksite-state grouping, the role and city rollups, and source-period caveats on top of the raw government files.
Employers here are flagged when imported DOL PERM (permanent labor certification) rows list District of Columbia worksites, shown alongside their H-1B LCA filings, often concentrated in New York, NY, Washington, DC, San Francisco, CA, Bellevue, WA. A certified PERM is an earlier step toward an employment-based green card, but it is a Department of Labor labor-market signal only — not a guarantee of green-card approval, a job offer, or future sponsorship.
Major sponsor states
California, Texas, New York and the other large tech, finance, and healthcare labor markets consistently carry the highest H-1B/LCA worksite filing volumes in the official DOL disclosure data. Jump straight to the states job seekers search most.
