From the data it looks like those are granted visas.
- mbreese 10y agoThose are visas classified as "Certified". I'm not sure what that means, but the categories are "Certified", "Certified-Withdrawn", "Withdrawn", or "Denied". http://www.myvisajobs.com/Certified-2016ST.htm http://www.myvisajobs.com/Certified-2016ST.htm But, if you look at the fine print on the site, you'll find this: Infosys Limited has applied for 113,445 LC and LCA from fiscal year 2013 to 2015. But this does not mean they really hired 113,445 foreign workers during this period. The visa applications might have been denied. When an employee renews or transfers his H1B visa or change work location under some circumstances, he will also file a new LCA application. Department of Labor(DOL) typically certifies more than 3 times the number of foreign work requests than the number of H1B visas issued by USCIS. So there is no one to one relationship between the number of workers certified by the DOL and the number of H1B work visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
