H-1B sponsorship profile: Vanderbilt University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Vanderbilt University filed 303 Labor Condition Applications covering 303 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 98.3% (298 certified of 303 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 Vanderbilt University’s H-1B petitions range from $35,006 at the low end to $265,000 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $86,391. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Postdoctoral Research Scholar (63 petitions at $63,010 avg), followed by Research Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor. 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. Vanderbilt University is headquartered in Nashville, TN under NAICS code 611310, and places H-1B workers across 3 states, most heavily in TN, DC, FL. 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.
