Boston College H-1B New Employment
Of Boston College's 160 certified H-1B filings with a stated employment type (FY2021–2026), 47.5% are new employment at a median of $103K/year. The rest are extensions, transfers and amendments for workers already sponsored.
Is Boston College Hiring New H-1B Workers?
Yes. At 47.5%, Boston College files a high share of genuinely new H-1B employment, so a meaningful part of its sponsorship goes to people it has not sponsored before. That is the population an outside applicant joins.
Employment Type Breakdown at Boston College
Bars are scaled to this employer's largest category, not to 100%. Percentages are of Boston College's 160 certified filings that state an employment type. A small number of filings tick more than one box, so the shares can total slightly above 100%.
Is That Share Rising or Falling?
New-employment share per fiscal year, each against that year's filings with a stated type. Bars are scaled to this employer's peak year.

Why This Number Matters
Total sponsorship volume is the figure most job boards quote, and on its own it is misleading. An employer filing thousands of petitions a year can be filing almost all of them to extend people it sponsored years ago, which tells an outside applicant very little about their odds.
The new-employment share separates the two. It is the employer's own checkbox on the Labor Condition Application, not an estimate, and it identifies the filings that represent someone entering the company rather than staying in it.

H1B Visa Jobs Research Team
Counted from US Department of Labor LCA disclosure files (FY2021–2026) for certified petitions filed by Boston College with annual wages between $30K and $1M. Shares are of the 160 filings that tick at least one employment-type box; the remaining 29.5% of Boston College's 227 certified filings state no type and are excluded rather than counted as renewals. A certified LCA is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved visa.
