Record context

Read each source on its own terms

DOL LCA

Labor Condition Applications

These filings describe an employer's requested labor conditions for a role. Offered wages are not paid salaries, and filings represent sponsorship intent rather than proof of employment.

USCIS Employer Data Hub

Employer-year petition outcomes

USCIS publishes aggregates by employer and year. They are petition outcomes rather than individual case histories, so they cannot tell the story of a single person's petition.

DOL PERM

Permanent labor certification applications

PERM applications document a labor-certification step. An application does not prove permanent residence was granted.
