H-1B sponsorship profile: CFA Institute. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, CFA Institute filed 7 Labor Condition Applications covering 7 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (7 certified of 7 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 CFA Institute’s H-1B petitions range from $80,000 at the low end to $174,610 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $133,079. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Senior Developer, Salesforce (3 petitions at $127,887 avg), followed by Senior Product Manager IT and Senior Manager CFA Program. 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.

Geographic footprint. CFA Institute is headquartered in Charlottesville, VA under NAICS code 813920, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in VA, NY. Combined, these signals give a granular view of how one employer uses the H-1B program, volume, approval cleanliness, wage posture, and where the jobs actually sit on the map.

Where CFA Institute ranks. By H-1B petition volume, CFA Institute is #21,197 of 119,880 employers nationally and #832 of 3,399 employers headquartered in VA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
