H-1B sponsorship profile: University of Chicago. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, University of Chicago filed 107 Labor Condition Applications covering 107 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 97.2% (104 certified of 107 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 University of Chicago’s H-1B petitions range from $42,257 at the low end to $152,500 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $73,482. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Scholar (66 petitions at $66,070 avg), followed by Research Professional and Research Scientist. 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.

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.
