H-1B sponsorship profile: Sanford. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Sanford filed 138 Labor Condition Applications covering 138 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (138 certified of 138 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 Sanford’s H-1B petitions range from $36,774 at the low end to $154,066 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $59,749. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Medical Laboratory Scientist (59 petitions at $59,689 avg), followed by Registered Nurse and Pathology Technician. 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. Sanford is headquartered in Fargo, ND under NAICS code 622110, and places H-1B workers across 6 states, most heavily in ND, SD, MN. 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 Sanford ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Sanford is #1,552 of 119,880 employers nationally and #3 of 233 employers headquartered in ND. The gap between the two is the point: a mid-size national sponsor can still be a top-10 name in its own state's H-1B market.
