What is an LCA, and what do these statuses mean?
A Labor Condition Application is the form an employer files with the Department of Labor before an H-1B, H-1B1 or E-3 petition. It names the job, the worksite and the wage.
Certified means DOL accepted it. Withdrawn means the employer withdrew it. Denied means DOL rejected it. A certified LCA shows intent to hire into a role; it is not a visa and not a petition approval.

How is pay calculated?
Filed uses the lower end of the pay range on each LCA (the figure the employer commits to) and turns it into a yearly amount: hourly x 2,080, weekly x 52, every two weeks x 26, monthly x 12.
Amounts under $15,000 or over $1,000,000 a year are almost always a unit typo (a salary entered as hourly), so they are left out of pay figures but still counted as LCAs.
Role groups, FY2025 and FY2026

USCIS petition decisions
From the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub, matched by name, state and the last four tax ID digits.
| Fiscal year | Initial approved | of which new employment | Initial denied | Continuing approved | Continuing denied | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | 12 | – | 0 | 123 | 5 | USCIS Data Hub FY2023, 1 rows |
Initial = New Employment + New Concurrent (a change of status from F-1 counts as New Employment). The FY2023 file reports initial and continuing only, so New Employment is shown as – for it.
Initial or continuing: what is the difference?
Initial approvals are workers new to H-1B employment with this employer, including a student moving from F-1 (OPT) status. Continuing covers extensions, amendments and workers changing to this employer from another H-1B employer.
USCIS counts workers, not forms, and reports the first decision on each petition.
