Filing details & current role requirements

122 of 166 filings in FY2025–FY2026 (FY2026 through Jun 2026) were classified as new-hire filings. This category includes new employment, transfers and concurrent employment; it does not count employees hired.

Cap-exempt employer

This employer can generally file H-1B petitions outside the annual cap lottery, so it may be able to hire at any time of year rather than only after a lottery win.

Openbound's review of public records identifies the employing entity, Rice University, as an institution of higher education. USCIS decides exemption for each petition; this is not legal advice.

Sources & how to read these records

Source: U.S. Department of Labor disclosure data. Counts use the identified employer’s certified filings. Each record shows its coverage and refresh dates.

LCA filings precede visa petitions; they are not USCIS approvals or counts of people hired. PERM is separate green card labor certification history and does not establish a green card commitment for a current opening.

No verified PERM filing entity has been matched to this employer. This leaves its green card history unknown; it does not establish that the employer never sponsors.

H-1B transfers and OPT / STEM OPT support must be confirmed for the individual role. H-1B history does not establish E-Verify participation.
