H-1B filings (Department of Labor)
Before filing an H-1B petition, an employer must get a Labor Condition Application (LCA) certified by the Department of Labor. These are this company's LCAs, by fiscal year.
| Fiscal year | Filed | Certified H-1B | Denied | Withdrawn | Entry level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2020 | 61 | 49 | 0 | 22 | 59% of 49 |
| FY2021 | 38 | 35 | 0 | 5 | 53% of 34 |
| FY2022 | 48 | 48 | 0 | 2 | 44% of 48 |
| FY2023 | 33 | 33 | 0 | 0 | 79% of 33 |
| FY2024 | 57 | 55 | 0 | 6 | 85% of 55 |
| FY2025 | 60 | 59 | 0 | 18 | 97% of 59 |
| FY2026 so far | 23 | 23 | 0 | 7 | 91% of 23 |
Entry level is the share of certified H-1B filings with a stated wage level that were level I or II.
“Filed”, “Denied” and “Withdrawn” count every LCA, including the E-3 and H-1B1 visas that use the same form; “Certified H-1B” counts H-1B only. A filing certified and later withdrawn counts in both columns.
FY2026 is in progress: data runs through June 30, 2026.
H-1B approvals (USCIS)
We couldn't match this company to USCIS's H-1B approval records, so there are no approval numbers to show.
Salaries
Offered salary is the yearly pay an employer states on a certified, full-time H-1B filing — the bottom of the range when it gives one. Hourly, weekly and monthly pay is converted to a yearly figure; amounts under $15,000 or over $1,000,000 a year are left out. The typical range is the middle half: a quarter of filings offered less, and a quarter more.

|---|---|---|---|
| FY2020 | $72,000 | $51,360 – $190,000 | 49 |

What the filings were for
What its certified H-1B filings since FY2023 were for, as marked on each LCA. One filing can cover several workers, so these count worker positions.

Green card sponsorship (PERM)
Most employer-sponsored green cards start with a PERM labor certification, filed with the Department of Labor. These are this company's, by fiscal year.
| Fiscal year | Filed | Certified | Denied | Withdrawn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2020 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| FY2021 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 |
| FY2022 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| FY2023 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0 |
| FY2024 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| FY2025 | 19 | 18 | 0 | 1 |
| FY2026 so far | 12 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
FY2026 is in progress: data runs through June 30, 2026.
Across all its green card filings since FY2020, whatever the outcome. DOL's newer PERM form doesn't include citizenship or education, so those two lists cover filings made on the older one.

E-Verify
On the E-Verify list
TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER appears on USCIS's list of E-Verify employers dated December 31, 2018, in a state it files from.
| Name as listed | Location | Workforce size | Federal contractor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center | Amarillo, TX 79106 | 500 to 999 | Yes |
| Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center | Odessa, TX 79763 | 500 to 999 | Yes |
| Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center | Abilene, TX 79601 | 100 to 499 | Yes |
| Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center | Lubbock, TX 79430 | 2,500 to 4,999 | Yes |
Why it matters: 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)).
This list is from December 31, 2018, and it's the only one USCIS has published. It shows who was enrolled on that date: 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
On most of its certified filings in FY2023–FY2025 that answered the question, the company said it is not H-1B dependent. A dependent employer has a large share of H-1B workers on staff and makes 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
The company's answers on its filings in FY2020–FY2025 don't show a repeated yes. Employers state on each filing whether DOL has found them to be 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
- Possibly
Its name or industry code looks like a college or university's. Universities, their affiliated nonprofits and nonprofit research organizations can file H-1B petitions outside the annual cap and lottery. This is an indicator, not a determination: only USCIS decides, petition by petition.
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.
