🔍 H-1B Visa Salary Search — Employer Compensation, LCA Filings & Sponsorship Data

Search U.S. Department of Labor H-1B / LCA filings — employer, job title, wage, work city, year. The free, scriptable alternative to MyVisaJobs, H1BGrader, USCIS direct, and Greg Siskind's paid tools.

Why This Beats MyVisaJobs, H1BGrader & USCIS Direct

Feature	NexGenData H-1B Salary Search	MyVisaJobs	H1BGrader	USCIS direct disclosure	Greg Siskind tools
Cost	$5 per 1,000 results	$9.95+/mo subscription	Free (ad-walled, limited)	Free (CSV dumps, no API)	Subscription
Bulk export	CSV / JSON / Excel	Limited (subscription)	None	Raw CSV only	Limited
API access	Apify Actor — JSON/CSV	Manual UI scraping	None	None	None
Filters	Employer / title / city / year / wage range	Limited	Limited	None	UI filters only
Time-to-first-row	<60 seconds	Manual page-by-page	Manual	Download + parse 2GB CSVs	UI clicks
Updates	Live against latest DOL disclosure	Quarterly	Quarterly	Quarterly	Quarterly

The DOL publishes the raw data, but extracting useful answers from 2GB+ CSV dumps is painful. This actor gives you the same data via API in seconds.

    "employer": "Stripe",
    "year": 2025,
    "maxItems": 500
})

Q: How current is it? DOL publishes quarterly; the actor reflects the latest published quarter.

Q: Can I find every job a specific employer filed? Yes — filter by employer name. The actor handles fuzzy matching of legal entity variants.

Q: What about salary by zip / metro? Filter by worksite city, state, or ZIP. Aggregate yourself, or check the Salary Data Search actor.

Q: Output formats? JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel — full Apify dataset format support.

Q: Is this legal? Yes — DOL explicitly publishes this data for public use. No login or terms-of-service violation.

Q: How is this different from H1BGrader? H1BGrader is a free web UI with ads and per-page rate limits. This is an API you can hit programmatically with bulk export.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform

If you only need the data once a quarter, you only pay once a quarter. If you scale to millions of records, the unit cost stays the same.
