U.S. Department of Labor's OFLC discloses 19 Labor Condition Application filings naming N.F. Smith & Associates, L.P. from FY2023 through FY2026, drawn directly from DOL's quarterly public disclosure releases. An LCA is the wage-and-working-conditions attestation an employer files with DOL before petitioning USCIS for an H-1B worker: it is a filing record, not a USCIS approval, a job offer, or a confirmed hire, and the count reflects filings, not people, since an employer sponsoring the same role at more than one worksite, or refiling across fiscal years, is counted once per filing.

Separate from the DOL filing record above, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicated 19 H-1B petitions naming N.F.

A DOL certification is the labor-condition step filed before a petition; this USCIS figure is the actual adjudicated outcome, and the two rates commonly differ.
