H-1B sponsorship profile: Cornell University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Cornell University filed 639 Labor Condition Applications covering 639 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 98.1% (627 certified of 639 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 Cornell University’s H-1B petitions range from $40,000 at the low end to $845,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $105,573. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Associate (205 petitions at $65,025 avg), followed by Assistant Professor and Research Associate. 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. Cornell University is headquartered in Ithaca, NY under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in 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 Cornell University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Cornell University is #289 of 119,880 employers nationally and #27 of 14,719 employers headquartered in NY. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
