How to use Sponsor Finder: Filing volume shows relevant historical LCA activity in the available DOL disclosure history. Active periods and consecutive activity help distinguish repeated filing history from one-time activity. FY2026 is partial through Q3.Hiring now is a separate signal based on supported official employer recruiting sources and high-confidence occupation and location matching. Current-job coverage is limited to supported employers, so the absence of a Hiring now badge does not mean an employer has no open positions.Research labels and ranking order are not sponsorship predictions. An LCA is not a USCIS visa approval, and a current job opening does not mean that an employer will sponsor a particular applicant.
