H1B Visa Database

Discover our powerful database

We developed a powerful database showing the U.S. jobs employers want to fill with citizens from other countries. When a company submits a labor condition application (LCA) for a position, it is either filling a job opening or looking to displace a U.S. worker. If an application is successful, it will be at least three years before an American could fill that position.

Is the New Immigration Proposal Truly Merit-Based or Just a Repackaging of Foreign Labor Dumping?

President Donald Trump in his May 16, 2019, immigration policy speech alluded to, but did not specifically refer to, as he did in his May 20, 2019, Pennsylvania speech, Buy American and Hire American.
