All data is sourced from official US Department of Labor LCA (Labor Condition Application) public disclosure files and USCIS I-129 petition outcome data. We process and index these datasets to make them easily searchable. No estimates or third-party scraping.

Yes — searching sponsors, viewing approval rates, salary benchmarks, and denial history is completely free. The core database will always remain free to access.

We update the database within 48 hours of each DOL quarterly disclosure release. We currently cover FY2019 through FY2024. USCIS outcome data may lag 60–90 days behind the DOL filings.

Cap-exempt employers are entities not subject to the annual H1B quota (65,000 + 20,000 master's cap). These include universities, nonprofit research organizations, and government research agencies. They can file H1B petitions year-round without lottery selection.

Wage levels are defined by the DOL to classify job experience and skill. Level I is entry-level, Level II is qualified, Level III is experienced, and Level IV is fully competent. Filing at a higher wage level generally signals higher pay.

H1BTrack is an informational resource. While the data comes from official government sources, it should not replace professional immigration legal advice. Always consult a qualified immigration attorney for case-specific decisions.
