How many H-1B LCA filings list University of Pittsburgh?
U.S. Department of Labor's OFLC discloses 1,233 Labor Condition Application filings naming University of Pittsburgh 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 University of Pittsburgh?

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.
