About PlainVisa
PlainVisa provides free access to H-1B Labor Condition Application (LCA) disclosure data published by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. Our database covers FY2023 through FY2026, with 2,095,703 filing records across 122,824 employers.
Employers submit LCAs to the DOL as part of the H-1B process, disclosing the job title, offered wage, and work location. These public filings illuminate proposed employment terms; they do not establish that USCIS approved a petition or that a worker was hired.
Use PlainVisa to research employer filing patterns, compare offered wages across companies and locations, understand which occupations appear most often in the disclosures, and track LCA filing trends over time.

How PlainVisa works, and why you can trust these numbers
What this site is
PlainVisa is a plain-language reference for U.S. work-visa data. Our core dataset is Labor Condition Application (LCA) filings from the Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification: 2,095,703 H-1B LCA filings across 122,824 employers and 1,219 occupations (FY2023-FY2026), alongside USCIS case-processing times and State Department visa wait-times. LCA filings record DOL applications, not USCIS petition approvals or visa outcomes.
Editorial process
- Source. Ingest the DOL Office of Foreign Labor Certification’s quarterly LCA disclosure files, USCIS processing-time snapshots, and the State Department’s Global Visa Wait Times page.
- Verify. Preserve official employer names, wage levels, and occupation codes exactly as reported, and cross-reference SOC occupation classifications for consistent categorization.
- Publish. Compile per-employer, per-occupation, and per-country pages, each linking back to the issuing agency so readers can audit our figures against the original filing.
