H-1B tracker · sponsor record
Meta Platforms
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.
