What this does and doesn't tell you
Before an employer can petition for an H-1B, it files a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the US Dept. of Labor. We count the certified ones. A filing shows LinkedIn has sponsored people in these roles; it isn't a visa approval and doesn't promise they'll sponsor you. Always confirm with the recruiter.
