The Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name

Atos Syntel needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: Atos Syntel Inc. plus legacy Syntel employer-name variants in the DOL records.

Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 6,742 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 6,781. FY2025 alone accounts for 309 LCA filings.

The USCIS series shown here totals 4,131 approvals across the available approval rows. Where FY2025 rows are initial approvals only, the page labels them that way. LCA filings are not headcount, hired workers, or proof that a specific American worker was replaced.

The Employer Boundary Drives the Count

Atos Syntel Inc is the largest filing name, but the full public footprint depends on combining the affiliated employer rows used for this page.

The peak year in the full-year series is FY2021, with 2,332 filings. FY2026 currently shows 39 rows and should be read as a partial-year value, not as a final decline.

Workforce Share Not Used
Metric intentionally suppressed

This site no longer charts H-1B filings as a share of workforce. The ratio can blur U.S. employees, global employees, contractors, and offshore delivery headcount into one denominator.

Rows with a disclosed U.S.-employee denominator available here: 0. The analysis now uses filings, approvals, wage, worksite, and title concentration instead.

Avg H-1B Salary vs BLS Market Rate

Workforce Context, Kept in Bounds

Atos Syntel is classified as an H-1B dependent employer, meaning at least 15% of its U.S. workforce holds H-1B status. Aggregator profiles tracked by MyVisaJobs put its cumulative footprint near 8,900 LCA filings with an average sponsored salary of $83,844, more than $46,000 under the BLS national median for software developers. Its top filed titles, Technical Lead, Software Engineer, and Project Manager, and its client-site worksite list led by Phoenix, Louisville, Collierville, and Nashville describe a delivery bench, not a research lab.

The public workforce story belongs next to the filing volume, but it does not turn every LCA into a replacement claim.

H-1B dependence is a legal classification, not a finding of wrongdoing. No enforcement action against Atos Syntel appears in the public records used for this page.

The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix

The leading occupation is Computer Systems Engineers/architects, and the leading job title is Technical Lead; those roles show what part of the labor market the filings reach.

For FY2025, the average H-1B wage in the filtered salary extract is $104,127, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $84,001. That is a $20,126 spread over the legal wage floor.

Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie

The PERM layer adds 523 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 62 in FY2025.

PERM records are a different process from H-1B petitions, but they matter because the sponsorship timeline can tie a worker to an employer for years.

Data Sources
  • LCA filings and salary data: DOL OFLC disclosure rows mapped by the employer-name boundary used for this investigation.
  • H-1B approvals: USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub CSV rows for FY2020-FY2023, plus FY2025 hub initial approvals where available.
  • PERM data: DOL OFLC PERM disclosure rows mapped with the same employer-name boundary.
  • MyVisaJobs and Ellis employer profiles for Atos Syntel Inc., retrieved July 2026; H-1B dependent employer classification per DOL LCA disclosure fields.
  • BLS wage comparison: OEWS May 2023 national median for software developers.

Caveat: LCA filings are not H-1B petitions or hired workers. FY2025 USCIS hub rows are initial approvals only, so denial rates are not computed for those rows.
