Cardinal Health H-1B Transfers
Cardinal Health filed 123 certified H-1B change-of-employer petitions (FY2021–2026). That is 32.2% of their filings where DOL recorded whether the petition was a transfer — above the 17.5% national rate. Median offered wage on those transfers: $115K/year.
What This Says About Cardinal Health
Cardinal Health runs a higher transfer share than the national average, meaning a larger share of the H-1B workers they hire are already in H-1B status rather than new cap-subject petitions. For someone currently on an H-1B, that is a practical signal: this employer files these routinely.
The middle 50% of Cardinal Health transfer filings fall between $98K and $121K, against a $128K median across all H-1B transfers nationally.
What Counts as an H-1B Transfer
An H-1B "transfer" is a new employer filing an H-1B petition for someone already holding H-1B status. On the underlying Labor Condition Application, DOL records it as a change of employer — that flag is what these figures count.
Transfers are not subject to the annual H-1B cap or the lottery, which is why they can be filed at any point in the year. Under H-1B portability you can generally begin work once USCIS receives the petition, rather than waiting for approval.

Counted from US Department of Labor LCA disclosure files (FY2021–2026) for petitions filed by Cardinal Health as recorded in DOL disclosure data, filtered to certified petitions with annual wages between $30K and $1M, using DOL's change-of-employer flag. Transfer share is measured against filings where DOL actually recorded that field — older disclosure schema generations omit it, and including those would understate every share shown here. A certified LCA is a step toward an H-1B petition, not an approved transfer.
