36 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2022–FY2026.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Durham Public Schools's own public LCA filings (FY2024–FY2026) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
Median offered wage is 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 17 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
Next end date: 2026-11-30. Employing an H-1B worker past the LCA end date without a new certified LCA is a strict-liability violation — the replacement LCA must be certified before the I-129 extension is filed.
Level I is the entry-level prevailing-wage tier and the band DOL's Project Firewall reviews first for misclassification (senior duties filed at an entry-level wage). The national share is 17%.
Each worksite needs its own 10-business-day LCA notice and a PAF record of that posting; a move to a new area of intended employment needs a new LCA before the worker starts there.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.

Durham Public Schools H-1B sponsorship at a glance, from public U.S. DOL LCA disclosure data (FY2022–FY2026).
Certified LCAs are a prerequisite to H-1B petitions, not visa approvals; one LCA can cover multiple workers. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
The shaded band is the middle half of certified salaries (P25–P75); the bar spans the lowest to highest certified salary.
