17 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 Nor Lea Hospital District's own public LCA filings (FY2024–FY2026) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
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 91% above the DOL prevailing wage across 11 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
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.
Yes — Nor Lea Hospital District sponsors H-1B workers, with 17 certified LCAs on file (FY2022–FY2026), including 4 in FY2026. The median certified salary is $300,000 (P25 $260,000, P75 $315,000). 100% of its certified filings meet or exceed the prevailing wage.

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; 0% of filings are senior-level (III–IV).
