Brookhaven National Laboratory

Brookhaven National Laboratory sponsored 58 H-1B applications in the available DOL filings — a moderate volume that typically reflects a company with a structured hiring program but not a continuous large-scale sponsorship operation.

Approval rate is mixed at 91% across 58 applications. The denial share is meaningful enough to suggest either weaker initial filings, eligibility challenges with specific roles, or both. On wages, Brookhaven National Laboratory pays a meaningful premium: $114,273 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $90,833, roughly 26% above the DOL prevailing-wage estimate for the same roles. Premium pay is one of the credible signals that the company values H-1B labor on its merits rather than as a low-cost substitute.

Brookhaven National Laboratory's top H-1B role is Research Associate ($90,260) — an academic or research role. Universities and research institutes use H-1B sponsorship differently from corporate employers; many academic H-1Bs are cap-exempt, which simplifies the filing process meaningfully. All H-1B filings come from a single state (NY) — typical of companies with one office or a regional footprint.
