Methodology & limitations
Understand what is calculated, what is entered, and what remains unknown.
Calculation rules
Filter records by fiscal year, state, employer, occupation, or SOC. The fiscal year must come from the source record, not be guessed from a calendar date.
Deduplicate case IDs by dated snapshots; conflicting versions remain excluded and visible. Employer aliases are explicit and reviewable.
Show LCA outcomes separately from USCIS petition outcomes. Compare annual wages only unless you deliberately enable annualization.
Limits that matter
Filing activity is not an offer, visa approval, or prediction of future sponsorship. This is research software, not legal advice.
Examples, imports, and source evidence
Example records are illustrative and are not a current public database. CSV and JSON imports are processed locally. A source URL supplied by a user does not mean that the publisher or this tool has independently audited that record. Missing specifications remain unknown. Inspect source dates and revisions before acting.
Reproducible results
Export a JSON plan to preserve the inputs and method version. Table exports contain the complete result, not just the currently displayed page. The printable report includes all result rows. A saved plan stays on this browser until you delete it or clear browser storage. Calendar exports create a snapshot of dates, not continuously updated alerts.
Corrections and commercial independence
Report calculation issues through the linked public source repository using an anonymized reproducible example. Do not include private addresses, serial numbers, personnel records, financial statements, or license-restricted data in a public issue. Advertising cannot change calculations, compatibility warnings, organic order, or source interpretation.
