120 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2021–FY2023.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Friendly Consultants, Inc.'s own public LCA filings (FY2021–FY2023) — 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.
Median offered wage is 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 120 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
H-1B dependent employers must also attest to recruitment of U.S. workers and non-displacement, unless every worker on the LCA is exempt ($60k+ or master's degree).
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%.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
Yes — Friendly Consultants, Inc. is an active H-1B sponsor, with 120 certified LCAs on file (FY2021–FY2023), including 17 in FY2023. The median certified salary is $90,400 (P25 $84,750, P75 $96,500). 100% of its certified filings meet or exceed the prevailing wage.
Friendly Consultants, Inc. H-1B sponsorship at a glance, from public U.S. DOL LCA disclosure data (FY2021–FY2023).
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; 4% of filings are senior-level (III–IV).

Case dispositions from the U.S. DOL OFLC disclosure files. Withdrawn are LCAs that were certified and later withdrawn by the employer; they still count toward Total.
