# US work-visa sponsorship (H-1B + PERM, DOL OFLC)

`GET /api/v1/equities/{symbol}/visa-sponsorship`

Certified DOL OFLC disclosures aggregated per public company - a primary-source aggregate (Tier S, US gov), the open equivalent of commercial visa-application feeds. LCA covers H-1B/H-1B1/E-3 work petitions (full fiscal year, all four quarterly files summed); PERM covers employment-based green-card sponsorships (cumulative annual file). Figures span the employer's legal-entity name variants. The ticker -> employer crosswalk is a curated set of major public-company sponsors: a ticker outside that set, or with no certified disclosures in the fiscal year, returns 404. Refreshed quarterly. MODEL/AGGREGATE from public filings, not investment or immigration advice.
