How do I look up a company's H-1B LCA filings?
Type the employer name, job title, SOC code, city, or state into the search box on this page. Keep the filter on LCA (or All) and open an employer to see imported labor-condition rows with roles, worksites, wage signals, case statuses, and the latest source period.
What is an LCA, and what does the LCA database contain?
An LCA (Labor Condition Application) is the Department of Labor filing an employer submits before sponsoring an H-1B, H-1B1, or E-3 worker. The LCA database here is built from the public DOL OFLC LCA disclosure files, which list employer name, job title, worksite, prevailing and offered wage, and case status for each filing.
Can I search PERM records and green-card filings here too?
Yes. Switch the search filter to PERM to query imported DOL OFLC PERM (permanent labor certification) disclosure rows, which cover employer green-card sponsorship filings. PERM and LCA are separate programs, so the counts and case statuses are tracked separately.
What is the PERM database, and what records does it contain?
The PERM database here is built from the public DOL OFLC PERM (permanent labor certification) disclosure files — the official permanent-employment green-card step employers file with the Department of Labor. Each PERM record lists the employer, job title, worksite, wage, and case status, and is kept separate from the H-1B LCA disclosure data.
How do I search PERM records by employer?
Set the program filter to PERM and search by employer name, job title, SOC code, city, or state. Open an employer to see its imported PERM records — roles, worksites, wage signals, case-status mix, and the latest source period — next to the same company's H-1B LCA filings.
Is this official LCA and PERM data?
Yes. Every page is built from official US Department of Labor OFLC disclosure files, and each employer view keeps the source period and import recency visible so you can judge whether the data is current enough for your research.
What DOL H-1B data does this cover, and how current is it?
It covers the US Department of Labor OFLC disclosure files for two programs: H-1B labor condition applications (LCAs) and PERM permanent labor certifications. The dataset coverage panel on this page reports the imported row count, the source fiscal-year quarters loaded, and the snapshot date for each program, so you can see exactly how current the DOL H-1B data behind a search result is before you rely on it.
What is the difference between LCA data and PERM data?
LCA data comes from the Labor Condition Application an employer files before sponsoring a temporary H-1B, H-1B1, or E-3 worker; it lists the job title, worksite, prevailing and offered wage, and case status. PERM data comes from the separate permanent labor certification step on the employment-based green-card path. DOL publishes them as different disclosure files with different record layouts, so VisaSignal imports, counts, and searches them separately rather than merging them into one filing total.
Is this the same as DOL performance data?
It is built from it. 'Performance data' is what the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration calls the public page at dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/performance, where OFLC publishes cumulative quarterly LCA, PERM, H-2A, H-2B, and CW-1 disclosure files plus program performance reports. VisaSignal imports the LCA and PERM disclosure files from that page and makes them searchable per employer; the official page itself offers whole-file downloads rather than a record search.
Is this the FLC Data Center (flcdatacenter.com)?
No. The Foreign Labor Certification (FLC) Data Center at flcdatacenter.com was the legacy DOL OFLC tool that hosted the Online Wage Library and public labor-certification disclosure data; OFLC officially discontinued it effective July 1, 2024, and moved the wage and disclosure data into the FLAG system at flag.dol.gov. VisaSignal is an independent, third-party search front end for the same public OFLC LCA and PERM disclosure files — it is not affiliated with the Department of Labor and is not the official successor to flcdatacenter.com.
Where did the FLC Data Center Online Wage Library go?
The FLC Data Center Online Wage Library — the OES/OEWS prevailing-wage lookup by SOC occupation and geographic area — moved to the OFLC Wage Search tool on the FLAG website at flag.dol.gov/wage-data/wage-search. flcdatacenter.com now redirects there, and current and historical wage-data files are downloadable from the same tool. The 'Where the FLC Data Center moved' table on this page maps each legacy feature to its current home.
Where can I download the old FLC Data Center (foreign labor certification data center) disclosure files now?
The bulk case-disclosure files that flcdatacenter.com used to host — quarterly and annual LCA, PERM, H-2A, H-2B, and CW-1 records — are now published on the DOL ETA Performance Data page at dol.gov/agencies/eta/foreign-labor/performance, as Excel files for the current fiscal year plus archived prior periods. If you instead want to search individual employer records rather than download a whole file, use the LCA & PERM lookup on this page, which is built from those same official OFLC files.
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.
