Brown University H-1B filings by fiscal year
Labor condition applications decided in each US fiscal year (1 October to 30 September). FY2026 (to 30 Jun) covers decisions to 30 June 2026 only. Worker positions is the most workers the certified applications may cover, as declared by the employer, not a count of people hired. Some employers file blanket applications covering up to 100 positions each, which inflates this figure.

UK sponsor licence
We found no organisation with a matching name on the UK Home Office register of licensed worker sponsors (9 October 2026). A UK subsidiary trading under a different name may still hold a licence.
How to read these numbers
- An LCA is the first step
- Before filing an H-1B, H-1B1 or E-3 petition, the employer files a labor condition application (LCA) with the Department of Labor, stating the job, worksite and the wage it will pay.
- Certified is not a visa
- A certified LCA means the Department of Labor accepted the wage attestation. It is not an approved petition or an issued visa, and it does not mean the role is still open or that the employer will sponsor you.
- Counts are applications
- One LCA can cover several workers, and employers often file more LCAs than they use (for example for the H-1B lottery or a worksite change). Read the totals as a measure of sponsorship activity, not of hires.
