105 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 Plume Design, 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.
Median offered wage is 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 32 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).
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 — Plume Design, Inc. is an active H-1B sponsor, with 105 certified LCAs on file (FY2021–FY2026), including 3 in FY2026. The median certified salary is $167,107 (P25 $143,792, P75 $185,000). With a 47% transfer share, this employer actively accepts H-1B transfers. 100% of its certified filings meet or exceed the prevailing wage.
Plume Design, 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; 53% of filings are senior-level (III–IV).
