Deloitte
PRIVATEDeloitte's Consulting Engine Is the Visa Story
Deloitte's profile is a consulting, audit, tax, and services roll-up. The boundary here includes Deloitte Consulting, Deloitte & Touche, Deloitte Tax, Deloitte Services, Deloitte Transactions, and other Deloitte employer-name variants.
Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 46,754 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 47,818. FY2025 alone accounts for 6,907 LCA filings.
The USCIS series shown here totals 22,167 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.
60 total denials across all years (0.1% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
Consulting Is the Center of Gravity
Deloitte Consulting LLP is the largest filer in the Deloitte profile, but the audit, tax, services, and transaction entities are part of the same public employer footprint.
The peak year in the full-year series is FY2020, with 10,505 filings. FY2026 currently shows 1,064 rows and should be read as a partial-year value, not as a final decline.
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.
Federal-Cost Pressure Meets Filing Scale
Reporting says Deloitte reduced parts of its U.S. consulting workforce after demand and federal-cost scrutiny shifted. That is labor-market context, not proof of visa replacement.
Deloitte's workforce context is about a professional-services firm trimming and reallocating labor while still running one of the largest LCA pipelines on the board.
Deloitte's filing counts are the backbone here; public layoff reporting is contextual and source-limited.
The Roles Show an Operating Model
The leading occupation is Software Developers, Applications; the leading title is Senior Consultant. That mix reads like the staffing backbone of a national consulting platform.
For FY2025, the average H-1B wage in the filtered salary extract is $130,320, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $114,977. That is a $15,343 spread over the legal wage floor.
The Filings Follow Deloitte's Delivery Map
New York, Ny leads the mapped worksites with 3,294 rows, but the volume is spread across the markets where Deloitte delivers client work.
Permanent Sponsorship Keeps the Pipeline Warm
Deloitte's PERM count is 3,524 from FY2020 through FY2025, including 373 in FY2025, which makes the green-card layer part of the labor strategy.
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.

- 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.

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.
