H-1B sponsorship profile: Desert Research Institute. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Desert Research Institute filed 15 Labor Condition Applications covering 15 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (15 certified of 15 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 Desert Research Institute’s H-1B petitions range from $62,720 at the low end to $118,353 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $80,383. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Researcher (5 petitions at $75,097 avg), followed by Maki Postdoctoral Researcher and Staff Research Scientist, CIWAS Program Manager. 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.

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.
