IBM
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 | 1,287 | 117 | 1,037 | 52 |
| FY2021 | 1,399 | 51 | 1,296 | 41 |
| FY2022 | 1,238 | 19 | 1,836 | 21 |
| FY2023 * | 321 | 9 | 765 | 14 |
* USCIS has published only part of this fiscal year.
Layoff filings, trailing 24 months
No WARN notices on record for this exact employer name across 47 jurisdictions. Absence of a notice is not proof of no layoffs — smaller actions fall below WARN thresholds.
Student practical-training hosting
SEVP's FY2024 top-200 list shows IBM hosted 157 OPT students (187 on STEM extensions).
Ranked #140 on ICE's SEVP list for FY2024. Counts are F-1 students on OPT and STEM-OPT practical training, counted per program (never added) — not employees or hires. SEVP source.
