How this list is built
Every company here lists a South Dakota work location on at least one Labor Condition Application filed with the Department of Labor. An LCA is the wage-and-conditions filing that precedes the actual H-1B petition to USCIS, so a high filing count signals an employer that regularly starts the sponsorship process. Approval rate reflects the DOL labor condition decision, not the final USCIS visa outcome or the cap lottery.
Data reflects DOL disclosure records through fiscal year 2026. This page revalidates every 24 hours.
