LTIMindtree
LTIMThe Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name
LTIMindtree needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: LTIMindtree Limited plus the pre-merger Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited and Mindtree Limited employer names in the DOL records.
Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 19,469 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 19,752. FY2025 alone accounts for 2,663 LCA filings.
The USCIS series shown here totals 10,021 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.
5 total denials across all years (0.0% of filings) - too small to display on this chart.
The Employer Boundary Drives the Count
Ltimindtree Limited 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 4,176 filings. FY2026 currently shows 283 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.
Workforce Context, Kept in Bounds
LTIMindtree is an H-1B dependent employer that reported roughly 4,000 U.S. workers on H-1B status. In December 2025 its CEO Venu Lambu announced the company would stop filing new H-1B applications, citing the Trump administration's new $100,000 fee per petition, and said the firm would hire locally instead. That decision is a controlled experiment for the entire program: an outsourcing giant conceding on the record that when sponsorship stops being cheap, American hiring is the fallback. The worksite map on this page, led by Redmond, Irving, Tampa, and Bellevue, shows the client-site staffing model at work.
The public workforce story belongs next to the filing volume, but it does not turn every LCA into a replacement claim.
The halt applies to new applications; renewals continue and the historical filing base shown here is unaffected. No enforcement action against LTIMindtree 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 Software Developer, Applications; 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 $107,975, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $95,179. That is a $12,796 spread over the legal wage floor.
Where the Filings Reach the U.S. Labor Market
Redmond, Wa leads the mapped worksite list with 1,643 rows for this employer boundary.
Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie
The PERM layer adds 2,031 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 226 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.

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.
