H-1B sponsorship profile: Ciena Corporation. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Ciena Corporation filed 108 Labor Condition Applications covering 108 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 97.2% (105 certified of 108 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 Ciena Corporation’s H-1B petitions range from $80,560 at the low end to $265,575 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $163,148. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Routing/IP Software Engineer 3 (6 petitions at $177,789 avg), followed by Software Engineer 4 and Lead, IT Applications. 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. Ciena Corporation is headquartered in Hanover, MD under NAICS code 334210, and places H-1B workers across 11 states, most heavily in CA, MD, TX. 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 Ciena Corporation ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Ciena Corporation is #2,061 of 119,880 employers nationally and #32 of 2,045 employers headquartered in MD. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
