H-1B sponsorship profile: Qwest Corporation. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Qwest Corporation filed 79 Labor Condition Applications covering 79 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 97.5% (77 certified of 79 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 Qwest Corporation’s H-1B petitions range from $72,994 at the low end to $165,584 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $121,914. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Lead Software Engineer (15 petitions at $127,987 avg), followed by Senior Software Developer and Lead QA Engineer. 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. Qwest Corporation is headquartered in Monroe, LA under NAICS code 51791, and places H-1B workers across 11 states, most heavily in CO, TX, FL. 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 Qwest Corporation ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Qwest Corporation is #2,930 of 119,880 employers nationally and #12 of 571 employers headquartered in LA. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
