An LCA (Labor Condition Application) is the step an employer files before an H-1B petition; a certified LCA is not a visa approval, and past filings don't guarantee an employer will sponsor you. Salaries are the wages employers stated on the LCAs. Offerbound is not affiliated with the companies listed.
