About H1B Scout
H1B Scout is a free, independent tool for exploring H1B visa sponsorship data from official U.S. government sources. We help job seekers, researchers, and immigration professionals make sense of the H1B labor market.
What We Do
H1B Scout aggregates and presents Labor Condition Application (LCA) data published by the U.S. Department of Labor. Every H1B employer is required by law to file an LCA before petitioning for a worker's visa — making this one of the most comprehensive public datasets on skilled immigration in the United States.
The current release covers FY2020–FY2025 Q3. Employer profiles are exported for the 5,000 highest-volume names in the source data, with occupation, worksite, wage, and filing-status aggregates.
Data Sources & Methodology
All data comes directly from the U.S. Department of Labor's Foreign Labor Certification Performance Data disclosure files, which are published in the public domain.
- We include H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), and E-3 (Australian) visa classes
- Salary figures use the base wage offered on the LCA; prevailing-wage fields are shown separately where available
- Approval rates reflect LCA certification status, not final USCIS petition outcomes
- Wage aggregates exclude annualized values below $20,000 or above $500,000; those records still count toward filing volume
- Job title standardization uses the DOL Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system
We do not modify, supplement, or editorialize the underlying DOL data. All figures are computed directly from the raw disclosure files.
