U.S. Department of Labor's OFLC discloses 2 Labor Condition Application filings naming Pacific Whale Foundation from FY2023 through FY2023, 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. See filing history · Recent LCAs
Separate from the DOL filing record above, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicated 2 H-1B petitions naming Pacific Whale Foundation through FY2024, and approved nearly every one of them: 100% approved (2 approvals, 0 denials). 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.
