H-1B sponsorship profile: Smithsonian Institution. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Smithsonian Institution filed 33 Labor Condition Applications covering 33 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2025. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (33 certified of 33 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 Smithsonian Institution’s H-1B petitions range from $54,576 at the low end to $300,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $107,576. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Investment Analyst (3 petitions at $100,035 avg), followed by Visual Information Specialist (Exhibitions/Graphic Designer) and Research Entomologist. 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. Smithsonian Institution is headquartered in Washington, DC under NAICS code 712110, and places H-1B workers across 5 states, most heavily in DC, MD, NY. 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 Smithsonian Institution ranks. By H-1B petition volume, Smithsonian Institution is #6,779 of 119,880 employers nationally and #28 of 1,005 employers headquartered in DC. Both ranks are computed live from the same underlying petition counts, not a separate estimate.
