H-1B sponsorship profile: American Electric Power. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, American Electric Power filed 93 Labor Condition Applications covering 93 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 95.7% (89 certified of 93 filed), a useful proxy for how cleanly their prevailing-wage attestations pass the Labor Department’s preliminary review before USCIS adjudication.

Compensation spread. Offered wages on American Electric Power’s H-1B petitions range from $80,000 at the low end to $175,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $121,526. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Solution Engineer Principal (20 petitions at $130,835 avg), followed by Engineer and Engineer Senior. H-1B salaries reported on LCAs must meet or exceed the DOL prevailing wage for the role and worksite, so the spread also tracks wage-level geography and seniority.
