H-1B sponsorship profile: Lehigh University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Lehigh University filed 116 Labor Condition Applications covering 116 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 90.5% (105 certified of 116 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 Lehigh University’s H-1B petitions range from $40,800 at the low end to $732,096 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $96,517. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (56 petitions at $8,954,107 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Research Associate and Research Scientist. 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. Lehigh University is headquartered in Bethlehem, PA under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in PA, NJ. 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 Lehigh University ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Lehigh University is #1,907 of 119,880 employers nationally and #63 of 3,282 employers headquartered in PA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
