H-1B sponsorship profile: Watson Institute. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Watson Institute filed 12 Labor Condition Applications covering 12 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 100% (12 certified of 12 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 Watson Institute’s H-1B petitions range from $57,600 at the low end to $116,033 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $73,909. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Programs Coordinator (2 petitions at $57,600 avg), followed by Director of Admission and VP of Programs. 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.
