Certified to employ today
Populus holds certified LCA windows covering 754 worker positions today (754 active cases, 225 filed as new employment, median attested base $128,960), with windows running as far as May 2029.
A certified LCA is the government-filed permission to employ for the stated period — not a live job posting, and never a count of hires. From the DOL disclosure corpus, computed against today's date.
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 | 148 | 82 | 400 | 76 |
| FY2021 | 113 | 5 | 222 | 17 |
| FY2022 | 76 | 5 | 149 | 3 |
| FY2023 * | 16 | 6 | 74 | 4 |
