University Corporation for Atmospheric Research

H-1B filings (Department of Labor)

Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) by fiscal year. An employer needs a certified LCA before it can file an H-1B petition.

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 also has records for this company in FY2009–FY2019: 123 new H-1B petitions approved. Show FY2009 onward

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.

Jobs and locations

Certified H-1B filings since FY2023, with median offered salaries.

Top job titles

What the filings were for

Certified H-1B filings since FY2023 by purpose, as marked on each LCA, in worker positions: one filing can cover several workers.

Green card sponsorship (PERM)

PERM labor certifications filed with the Department of Labor, by fiscal year. Most employer-sponsored green cards start with one.

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

All its green card filings since FY2020, any outcome. DOL's newer PERM form drops citizenship and education, so those two lists cover the older form only.

E-Verify

On the E-Verify list

University Corporation for Atmospheric Research is listed in a state it files from.

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.

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

Possibly

Its name or industry code looks like a college's, and colleges, their affiliated nonprofits and nonprofit research groups can file outside the H-1B 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.
