H-1B sponsorship profile: Columbia University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Columbia University filed 1,405 Labor Condition Applications covering 1,405 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 70.4% (989 certified of 1,405 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 Columbia University’s H-1B petitions range from $47,613 at the low end to $1,000,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $100,818. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Associate Research Scientist (460 petitions at $1,507,242 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Research Scientist and Assistant Professor. 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. Columbia University is headquartered in New York, NY under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in NY, VA. 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.
