One LCA (Form ETA-9035) is one job application certified by the Department of Labor before an H-1B petition is filed with USCIS — it is not an approved visa. Counts are LCA cases in the month of their first DOL decision. Employer type is tagged from the LCA form's own signals (third-party worksites, the H-1B-dependent declaration, NAICS, job titles) and checked against the web for the largest filers; the rest carry the heuristic tag. Information, not legal or career advice. Source: U.S. DOL OFLC LCA disclosure files, FY2023 Q4 – FY2026 Q3 ↗.
