30 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2021–FY2026.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Ethicon, Inc.'s own public LCA filings (FY2024–FY2026) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
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.
Frequent amendments usually mean worksite or role changes; each one must be covered by a new LCA before the change takes effect.
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%.
Median offered wage is 14% above the DOL prevailing wage across 21 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
No additional recruitment or non-displacement attestations apply.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
Yes — Ethicon, Inc. sponsors H-1B workers, with 30 certified LCAs on file (FY2021–FY2026), including 8 in FY2026. The median certified salary is $125,000 (P25 $100,100, P75 $151,400). 100% of its certified filings meet or exceed the prevailing wage.
Ethicon, Inc. H-1B sponsorship at a glance, from public U.S. DOL LCA disclosure data (FY2021–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.
Levels I–IV are DOL prevailing-wage experience tiers; 69% of filings are senior-level (III–IV).
