Oregon State University

Oregon State University sponsored 82 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 profile is essentially perfect: 100% approval rate across the 82 applications on file. A near-100% approval rate over meaningful volume signals a competent immigration counsel and well-prepared filings — the company is rarely getting RFEs or denials. On wages, Oregon State University pays a meaningful premium: $90,112 average wage versus a prevailing-wage benchmark of $59,684, roughly 51% 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.

Oregon State University's top H-1B role is Postdoctoral Scholar ($63,614) — 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. Most filings concentrate in 2 states (OR, WA), typical of companies with a primary headquarters office and a single secondary location.
