H-1B sponsorship profile: University of Kentucky. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, University of Kentucky filed 477 Labor Condition Applications covering 477 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 95.6% (456 certified of 477 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 Kentucky’s H-1B petitions range from $32,239 at the low end to $650,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $140,322. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (97 petitions at $138,170 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Scholar and Assistant Professor of Medicine/Hospitalist. 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. University of Kentucky is headquartered in LEXINGTON, KY under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 1 state, most heavily in KY. 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 University of Kentucky ranks. By H-1B petition volume, University of Kentucky is #394 of 119,880 employers nationally and #3 of 525 employers headquartered in KY. 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.
