Citibank
CCitibank LCA Volume Across FY2020 to FY2025
Citibank records 8,306 total LCA filings across the six fiscal years in the dataset. Annual volume ranges from 1,064 in FY2020 to a peak of 1,578 in FY2023.
The pattern is volatile rather than linear: filings rose to a 2023 peak, dropped sharply in 2024, and then rebounded to 1,572 in FY2025. That leaves FY2025 up 47.7% versus FY2020, including a 0.0% year-over-year increase from FY2025.
* FY2026 is partial, through Mar 31, 2026.
7 total denials across all years (0.1% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
Approval Trend with Important Dataset Caveats
The approval series includes 4,705 total approvals across the public-source years currently shown, peaking at 1,965 in FY2022.
Interpret trend direction carefully. The series has a year gap (there is no FY2024 row) and FY2025 appears as an initial-approval snapshot at 310 approvals without a matching denial count in this app data. Rates remain high in the denial-bearing rows, but the underlying volume coverage is not continuous year to year.
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.
