Note: Before MTA - New York City Transit can hire foreign workers permanently or temporarily, it must file labor certifications with the Department of Labor(DOL), demonstrating that it is paying the required wage for the positions in the geographic region where the jobs are located. Above table reports Labor Condition Application(LCA) for H1B visa and Labor Certification(LC) for green card filed by MTA - New York City Transit. The data only indicates the number of applications filed by MTA - New York City Transit. It does not mean that MTA - New York City Transit actually got the visa and hired the workers.

Our LCA data includes LCA submitted for not only new employment, but also continuation or change in previously approved employment, new concurrent employment, change in employer and amended petition. Usually, only LCA for new employment needs H1B Visa quota if it is not cap-exempt.

MTA - New York City Transit has not filed any labor petitions for foreign workers from fiscal year 2021 to 2023. However, MTA - New York City Transit had applied for LCA for H1B visa or LC for green card before 2012. You can still apply for their new openings. Be sure to contact their HR department or hiring managers for their updated work visa policy.

Department of Labor(DOL) typically certifies more than 3 times the number of foreign work requests than the number of H1B visas issued by USCIS. So there is no one to one relationship between the number of workers certified by the DOL and the number of H1B work visas issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
