Filing volume
Filings, worker positions and new-employment positions per fiscal year. Three different measurements, never added together.
| Fiscal year | Filings | Worker positions | New-employment positions |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026Oct 2025 – Sep 2026 | 15 | 15 | 6 |
Case status (filings)
| Bucket | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Certified | 9 | 60.0% |
| Certified, then withdrawn | 6 | 40.0% |
Petition type (positions)
| Bucket | Count | Share |
|---|---|---|
| New employment | 6 | 40.0% |
| Continued employment (renewal) | 9 | 60.0% |
60% 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.

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

- Basis
- DOL decisions
US Department of Labor decisions on the applications, not petition outcomes.
15 adjudicated
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A certified-then-withdrawn application was approved and pulled afterwards, so it counts as an approval. An application withdrawn before a decision was never adjudicated and is excluded from the denominator entirely — counting it as a denial would invent a rejection that never happened.

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.
