About this site

Why this exists

The H-1B1 is a work visa reserved for citizens of Singapore and Chile. It has its own annual allocation, no lottery, and a faster, cheaper application route than the regular H-1B. Very few US employers know it exists.

That creates a specific problem for Singaporean job seekers: you can spend months applying to companies that will never sponsor, while companies that have sponsored H-1B1 before are invisible to you. Every one of those past sponsorships is on public record. This site turns that record into something you can search.

Where the data comes from

Every figure on this site is derived from the U.S. Department of Labor OFLC disclosure files. Before a US employer can hire someone on an H-1B1, it must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the DOL, stating the job title, worksite, and offered wage. The DOL publishes those filings quarterly.

No data is scraped from job boards, submitted by users, or bought from a vendor. There is nothing here that you could not, in principle, extract from the DOL files yourself.

How the numbers are built

1. Each quarterly DOL release covers roughly a million filings across every visa class. Those are filtered down to rows where VISA_CLASS is H-1B1 Singapore.
2. New rows are appended to a master file and deduplicated by DOL case number, since each quarterly release repeats earlier filings from the same fiscal year.
3. Only filings with a status of Certified are shown. Denied and withdrawn cases are kept in the underlying data but excluded from every count on the site.
4. Wages are normalised to an annual figure before any median is calculated, so hourly and monthly filings do not distort the results.
5. Roles and worksite states need at least five filings before they get their own page, which keeps the site from generating pages with nothing meaningful on them.

Current coverage

The site is rebuilt each time the DOL publishes a new quarterly release, usually a few weeks after the quarter closes. You can get an email when new data lands.

Known limits of this data

• An LCA records an employer's intent to sponsor. It does not confirm that a visa was approved, that anyone was hired, or that a role is open now.
• Filed wages are the wage floor an employer commits to, taken from the wage range on the filing. Actual compensation is often higher, and equity is never included.
• Employer names come through exactly as filed, so the same company can appear under several legal entities or spellings. These are not merged, because merging them would mean guessing.
• A filing history shows what an employer has done before. It is a signal about their process and their willingness, not a commitment to you.
