Cognizant Technology Solutions
Four official records, read side by side — wage attestations, petition outcomes, layoff filings, and enforcement findings. What each record states, nothing more.
Permanent labor certifications (PERM)
The Department of Labor step of employment-based green-card sponsorship. A certification is DOL's determination on the labor market test — the first of three federal steps, not a green card granted.
Petition outcomes, by fiscal year
USCIS Employer Data Hub. Outcomes lag attestations by one to two fiscal years — never read these as a conversion rate on current filings.
| Fiscal year | Initial approvals | Initial denials | Continuing approvals | Continuing denials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2020 | 2,000 | 1,524 | 12,763 | 2,500 |
| FY2021 | 1,481 | 19 | 7,410 | 213 |
| FY2022 | 2,510 | 23 | 3,617 | 38 |
| FY2023 * | 1,059 | 16 | 2,918 | 134 |
* USCIS has published only part of this fiscal year.
