Filing volume

Filings, worker positions and new-employment positions per fiscal year. Three different measurements, never added together.

One filing can declare many positions, and a continued-employment position is a worker already here being renewed — which is why position counts are never summed across fiscal years.

Petition type (positions)

Bucket	Count	Share
New employment	29	43.3%
Change of employer	32	47.8%
Amended petition	6	9.0%

0% of this employer's petition-type positions are continued employment — the same worker renewed. That is why the headline figure above is new-employment positions rather than filings: an employer renewing the same staff every three years produces the same filing volume as one hiring that many new people, and the two are not the same opportunity.

Roles filed

The job title is whatever the employer wrote on the application. Nothing is reclassified, and the wage band is derived from the $5,000 bands rather than read from a stored average.

Outcomes

Derived at read time from the stored approval and denial counts. Nothing here is a stored rate.

Approval rate: 100.0%
Approvals: 66
Denials: 0
Basis: DOL decisions

A certified-then-withdrawn application was approved and pulled afterwards, so it counts as an approval. An application withdrawn before a decision was never adjudicated and is excluded from the denominator entirely — counting it as a denial would invent a rejection that never happened.

Every figure above is aggregated from Labor Condition Applications published by the US Department of Labor for Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC as that name appears on the filings. Filing counts are applications, position counts are worker positions on those applications, and neither is a headcount or a count of visas granted. How these pages are built.
