H-1B Sponsor Lookup
Before a company can hire a foreign worker, it files with the Department of Labor — and every filing names the employer, the role, and the intent to hire. This is that filing history by employer.

The signal
What a h-1b sponsor tells you
Every employer that wants to sponsor a foreign worker files with the Department of Labor's Office of Foreign Labor Certification first — a Labor Condition Application (LCA) for an H-1B, or a PERM application for a green card. Those filings are disclosed publicly, so an employer's sponsorship history is a matter of official record.
This lookup rolls that disclosure up by employer: search a company name and see how many filings it has, which states it files in, and — behind the unlock — the split between H-1B and PERM, plus how many were certified versus denied. It answers "does this company sponsor, how much, and where?"
The reason it's a signal and not just a directory is timing. A filing is a documented, dated statement of hiring intent for a specific role at a specific wage. A surge in filings marks a company that's staffing up; a first-ever filing marks one that just started sponsoring. Both are the kind of moment worth catching.
Why it matters
A filing is hiring intent on the record — a company committing to a role at a stated wage. For immigration counsel, staffing, and relocation services, that's a warm, timed prospect the moment it files.

How to read the results
Every field below is returned free, in full — no email, no gate. Build a Parse when you want the whole list for a specialty or state, exports, or a live alert the moment a prescriber goes new-to-class.
- Employer
- The normalized company name. Filings from subsidiaries and name variants are grouped so the count reflects the real employer.
- States
- Where the sponsored roles are located — a read on the company's hiring geography.
- Total filings
- All OFLC filings on record for the employer across programs and fiscal years — the headline volume.
- LCA (H-1B) vs PERM
- LCA filings are for temporary H-1B roles; PERM filings are the green-card step. The mix tells you whether a company hires temporary talent, sponsors permanently, or both.
- Certified vs denied
- How the Department of Labor adjudicated the filings — the certified count is the volume that cleared the labor step.
- Fiscal years on record
- The span of years the employer has been filing — steady sponsors look different from first-timers.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is an H-1B sponsor lookup?
It's a search of an employer's Department of Labor foreign-labor filings. Before hiring a worker on an H-1B or sponsoring a green card, a company files with OFLC, and those filings are public — this tool rolls them up by employer name.
What's the difference between LCA and PERM?
An LCA (Labor Condition Application) is the labor step for a temporary H-1B role. PERM is the labor step for a permanent green-card sponsorship. A company's mix of the two tells you how it hires foreign talent.
Is this H-1B lookup free?
Yes. Search any employer by name with no login and see total filings and states. The H-1B/PERM split, certified/denied counts, and fiscal-year history are shown free — no email or login.
Does a filing mean someone was actually hired?
A filing is a documented, dated statement of intent to hire at a stated wage — it's the labor certification step, not proof of a completed hire. That's exactly why it works as an early hiring-intent signal.
How current is the filing data?
It reads the DOL OFLC disclosure files, which are released on the department's schedule. ParseData normalizes each release so a company's filing history stays current.
How it's sourced
Reads the DOL Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure files — the filings employers themselves submit to sponsor workers. Counts and states only; no characterization of any employer.
