H-1B Watch

For law firms and newsrooms

Quarterly lead reports from the H-1B disclosure files

Every employer page on this site is free. Firms and reporters need something else: a short list of named employers whose filings stand out this quarter, the filings behind each flag, and a CSV you can hand to an analyst. We build that list from the same deduplicated records, filtered to your practice area, industries or states.

What a flag is, and is not

A flag says an employer’s own certified filings stand out against the rest of the file. It is a reason to look closer, not a finding of a violation: wage levels describe the job as the employer certified it, and titles are not standardized across companies. Every number reproduces from the DOL workbooks, and the methodology states each rule. Employer-level only; we never profile individual workers.
