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, The University of Chicago, 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.

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