20 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2025–FY2026.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Minnesota State University, Mankato'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 20 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
Withdrawn or denied LCAs are normal in isolation; a high share suggests workers were moved between filings and the paper trail needs checking.
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.
