Entry level: the share of certified H-1B filings stating a wage level that were level I or II.

“Filed”, “Denied” and “Withdrawn” include E-3 and H-1B1 filings, which use the same form; “Certified H-1B” is H-1B only. A filing certified then withdrawn counts in both.

FY2026 is in progress: data runs through June 30, 2026.

H-1B approvals (USCIS)

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) decides the H-1B petition after DOL certifies the LCA. New petitions and extensions or transfers are counted apart.

USCIS approvals count different things from Department of Labor filings, so we never add the two together.

FY2023 is incomplete: USCIS's last data release covers only part of that year (38,315 new approvals nationwide, against 138,381 in FY2022).

USCIS hasn't published employer-level approval data after FY2023.

Salaries

Yearly pay stated on certified full-time H-1B filings (the low end of a range), with hourly, weekly and monthly pay converted; amounts under $15,000 or over $1,000,000 a year are left out. The typical range is the middle half of filings.

E-Verify

Not on the 2018 E-Verify list

We didn't find Nelnet Business Solutions, Inc. on USCIS's E-Verify list.

Employers must be enrolled in E-Verify to employ F-1 students on the STEM OPT extension (8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)(ii)(C)).

USCIS has published only this one list, dated December 31, 2018. A company that enrolled later isn't on it, so not being on the list tells you nothing.

How we match companies to the list

The employer's name key appears in the USCIS E-Verify participating-employers list with a state the employer files in. That list is one snapshot, enrolled as of 2018-12-31, so false means only "not on the 2018 list" - not that the employer does not use E-Verify today, and not that it did not enrol the following week. The list carries no FEIN and no case number, so the match is by normalised name and state alone.

Other things to know

H-1B dependent
No

It said it isn't H-1B dependent on most of its certified filings in FY2023–FY2025 that answered. Dependent employers have a large share of H-1B staff and make extra promises about recruiting and not displacing U.S. workers.

How we work this out

The employer answered Yes to H1B_DEPENDENT on at least half of the certified LCAs where it answered the question, in FY2023-FY2025. false means it answered and Yes was under half; NULL means no certified case answered the question (E-3 and H-1B1 filings answer N/A). The floor is there because a single Yes among thousands of No answers is a tick in the wrong box: it would badge 979 employers that said Yes once, one of them on 1 filing of 2,760; the 473 that answered only once or twice still are. A dependent employer is not a worse employer: the answer is a statutory test on the share of H-1B workers on staff, not a finding.

Willful violator
No

Its answers on its filings in FY2020–FY2025 show no repeated yes. Each filing asks whether DOL found it a willful violator in the five years before; this is the company's own answer, not a DOL record.

How we work this out

The employer answered Yes to WILLFUL_VIOLATOR on at least two LCAs in FY2020-FY2025, certified or not, in at least two fiscal years, and in at least one of those years Yes was half or more of what it answered. The floor is there because a single Yes among thousands of No answers is a tick in the wrong box: 505 employers answer Yes exactly once and never twice, and the two employers with the most Yes answers say it on one filing in two thousand. false means the employer answered and did not meet that bar; NULL means it never answered. THIS IS THE FILER'S OWN ATTESTATION ON THE LCA, NOT A DOL FINDING. The authoritative source is the DOL published debarment list, which this project does not yet mirror - it is a follow-up catalog entry - so nothing here has been checked against it.

Cap-exempt
No sign

Nothing in its name or industry code suggests a college. It may still be exempt: nonprofit research groups and affiliated hospitals can be, and we can't detect them.

How we work this out

INFERRED, not a determination. true when an FY2023+ LCA carries a NAICS code beginning 6112 or 6113 (junior colleges, colleges and universities) or a raw spelling of the employer's name contains the word UNIVERSITY or COLLEGE. Never false: the column is NULL when neither signal is present, because the absence of a signal is not evidence that an employer is cap-subject. Non-profit research organisations and affiliated hospitals are cap-exempt and both tests miss them. Only USCIS decides cap exemption, petition by petition.
