H-1B sponsorship profile: Western Washington University. Across U.S. Department of Labor LCA disclosures, Western Washington University filed 69 Labor Condition Applications covering 69 H-1B worker positions between fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2026. The employer’s DOL certification rate sits at 94.2% (65 certified of 69 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 Western Washington University’s H-1B petitions range from $40,020 at the low end to $187,200 at the high end, with a petition-weighted average of $81,801. That range reflects the mix of occupations the company sponsors, led by Research Economist (5 petitions at $64,996 avg), followed by Visiting Assistant Professor of Japanese and Assistant Professor: Applied Mathematics. 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.

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.
