The Filing Footprint Is Bigger Than One Legal Name

U.S. Bank needs to be read through its public employer-name boundary: U.S. Bank National Association plus U.S. Bancorp Investments employer-name variants in the DOL records.

Across FY2020 through FY2025, those rows add up to 4,189 Labor Condition Applications. Including the FY2026 partial-year rows, the total reaches 4,329. FY2025 alone accounts for 851 LCA filings.

The USCIS series shown here totals 1,840 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.

H-1B Approval Rate Over Time

The Employer Boundary Drives the Count

u.s. Bank National Association 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 851 filings. FY2026 currently shows 140 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

U.S. Bank's H-1B profile is the quiet version of the pattern: no headline enforcement, just a steady filing base of Software Engineer and Application Developer roles concentrated in Irving, Minneapolis, Richfield, and Atlanta, with an aggregator-tracked median sponsored salary of $121,687, below the BLS national median for software developers. Employee-forum reporting in 2025 described visa renewals dropping sharply alongside a hub-strategy centralization push in early 2026, a reminder that sponsored workers absorb the whiplash of strategy changes with their immigration status on the line.

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

The renewal-slowdown and hub-strategy accounts are employee-forum reports, not company disclosures. Filing volumes and wages here are from public DOL records.

The Labor-Market Signal Is in the Job Mix

The leading occupation is Software Developers, and the leading job title is Software Engineer; 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 $131,629, compared with an average prevailing-wage benchmark of $125,409. That is a $6,220 spread over the legal wage floor.

Green Cards Add the Long-Term Tie

The PERM layer adds 885 labor-certification cases from FY2020 through FY2025, including 161 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.

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.
