Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification, LCA disclosure data (Oct 2025 - Jun 2026), certified H-1B applications only. “Entry-level new hire” means a Labor Condition Application at prevailing wage Level I for new employment. An LCA is filed before an H-1B petition; it is not a visa approval, and some are never used. Past filings don't promise that a company will sponsor you. Check each job's posting and ask the recruiter.
