H-1B sponsorship profile: The University of Iowa. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, The University of Iowa filed 992 Labor Condition Applications covering 1,015 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 96.8% (960 certified of 992 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 The University of Iowa’s H-1B petitions range from $40,539 at the low end to $694,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $130,133. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Clinical Assistant Professor (200 petitions at $263,195 avg), followed by House Staff Fellow Physician and Postdoctoral Research Scholar. 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. The University of Iowa is headquartered in Iowa City, IA under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in IA, CA. 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 The University of Iowa ranks. By H-1B petition volume, The University of Iowa is #166 of 119,880 employers nationally and #1 of 566 employers headquartered in IA. 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.
