Where the jobs are

"Lawyers" is the official occupation category (SOC title) the employers chose on their filings. Job titles inside it vary.

A certified LCA is not a visa and not an open job. It is the first step an employer takes before filing an H-1B petition, and it also covers extensions and transfers for people already in the US. Use the list to find employers that sponsor regularly, then check their current vacancies.
