Thanks this is way better than existing sites. I did notice that searching for Google gives you 5 different entities that are all Google.
Yes I am still cleaning the data. It's all unbelievable the amount of crap you can find in the public records. I have a lot of duplicates unfortunately. Down the road, I'm planning on providing a couple of cool charts/map about trends and evolutions.
I'm not sure what to do now. Should I tell my boss about this and ask for a big raise this year? How would they react if I showed this data to them and demanded that my salary at least match these numbers?
Hello everyone. I quickly built this little tool based on public records provided by the government. The amount of information they provide is incredible. There are no explicit names, but for small startup or exec position it is easy to guess who is who. As far as I know this is the biggest LCA database so far.
Very impressive. I'm organizing an Immigration-themed "Startup Weekend" event[1] happening next week (in SF), and I think I'll be sharing this with participants there as an example of what can be done.

what does "status: withdrawn" mean ?
It means the petition was withdrawn. My guess is that that person left the company.

can you add functionality to search by job title other than as a filter? great tool though!

Technically correct, but as we all know, the title of a job doesn't necessarily correspond to the job responsibilities. Scope creep is just as real for employee positions as it is for company projects/products.
True. I don't know how much the US government scrutinizes applications (which have to include a description of the position, responsibilities, etc.) and applicants. Perhaps not at all.
Our immigration lawyer decided on this job title, I didn't even know I was going to be Software Engineer before I got my visa. It's just that my college has a PhD and I don't. So, his profile fits that of a Data Scientist.
How would you distinguish this from visadoor.com? What does it do better? (Not trying to challenge or insult--trying to learn.)
Hmm, was hoping this would show the denied percentage, but the "denied" column doesn't corresponds to reality, not sure what it's supposed to represent.
this only shows LCA (Labor Condition Application) data. H1B can still be rejected/denied much later in the process.
