55 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 Stark Associates LLC'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 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 37 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.
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.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.

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