Methodology & sources
Figures are USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub counts of petition approvals and denials (initial plus continuing) for FY2023, aggregated across this employer’s worksites. They are petition outcomes, not State Department visa issuances, and sponsorship volume does not by itself indicate displacement of U.S. workers. Data context, not legal advice.
