H-1B sponsorship profile: Human Rights Watch. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Human Rights Watch filed 18 Labor Condition Applications covering 18 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 94.4% (17 certified of 18 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 Human Rights Watch’s H-1B petitions range from $54,371 at the low end to $400,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $125,327. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Associate Director (Development and Outreach Department) (4 petitions at $98,333 avg), followed by Senior Researcher/Advocate and Digital Campaigner. 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. Human Rights Watch is headquartered in New York, NY under NAICS code 813311, and places H-1B workers across 3 states, most heavily in NY, DC, CA. 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 Human Rights Watch ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Human Rights Watch is #10,965 of 119,880 employers nationally and #881 of 14,719 employers headquartered in NY. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
