How many H-1B LCA filings list Texas State University?

U.S. Department of Labor's OFLC discloses 180 Labor Condition Application filings naming Texas State University 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.

How many H-1B petitions has USCIS approved for Texas State University?

Separate from the DOL filing record above, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudicated 196 H-1B petitions naming Texas State University through FY2024, and approved nearly every one of them: 98% approved (192 approvals, 4 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.
