New sponsor

Southwest Airlines Co.

Southwest Airlines Co. filed its first LCA in FY2026 and has 30 filings so far. A sponsorship history this short says little about how it handles a case that goes wrong.

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.

Continued employment (renewal)2686.7%
Change of previous employment413.3%

87% 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%

US Department of Labor decisions on the applications, not petition outcomes.

Denials

Basis
DOL decisions

Two different measurements. They are never blended into one rate.

A certified-then-withdrawn application was approved and pulled afterwards, so it counts as an approval. An application withdrawn before a decision was never adjudicated and is excluded from the denominator entirely — counting it as a denial would invent a rejection that never happened.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