H-1B sponsorship profile: International Paper. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, International Paper filed 55 Labor Condition Applications covering 55 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (55 certified of 55 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 International Paper’s H-1B petitions range from $98,000 at the low end to $212,923 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $127,534. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Team Lead Sales Support (3 petitions at $111,504 avg), followed by Middleware & API Engineer and Applications Development Analyst II . 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. International Paper is headquartered in Memphis, TN under NAICS code 322121, and places H-1B workers across 5 states, most heavily in TN, IL, AL. 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 International Paper ranks. By H-1B petition volume, International Paper is #4,296 of 119,880 employers nationally and #49 of 1,309 employers headquartered in TN. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
