H-1B sponsorship profile: University of Minnesota. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, University of Minnesota filed 1,008 Labor Condition Applications covering 1,008 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 96.6% (974 certified of 1,008 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 Minnesota’s H-1B petitions range from $34,960 at the low end to $270,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $79,982. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Assistant Professor (244 petitions at $103,893 avg), followed by Postdoctoral Associate and Researcher 5. 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 Minnesota is headquartered in Minneapolis, MN under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 2 states, most heavily in MN, IL. 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 Minnesota ranks. By H-1B petition volume, University of Minnesota is #163 of 119,880 employers nationally and #5 of 1,538 employers headquartered in MN. 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.
