The H-1B program allows employers in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers in occupations that require the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and a bachelor's degree or higher in the specific specialty, or its equivalent. The H-1B Employer Data Hub includes data from fiscal year 2009 through the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 on employers who have submitted petitions to employ H-1B nonimmigrant workers. Data can be queried by fiscal year, employer name, city, state, zip code, and NAICS code. The H-1B Employer Data Hub has data on the first decisions USCIS makes on petitions for initial and continuing employment. It identifies employers by the last four digits of their tax identification. You can download annual and query-specific data in .csv format. For more information on the data, visit the Understanding Our H-1B Employer Data Hub page.

Project Description:

1) Data Background

In the Data Mining class, we had the opportunity to analyze data by performing data mining algorithms to a dataset. Our dataset is from Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC). OFLC is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor. The main duty of OFLC is to assist the Secretary of Labor to enforce part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which requires certain labor conditions exist before employers can hire foreign workers. H-1B is a visa category in the United States of America under the INA, section 101(a)(15)(H) which allows U.S. employers to employ foreign workers. The first step employer must take to hire a foreign worker is to file the Labor Condition Application. In this project, we will analyze the data from the Labor Condition Application.

1.1) Introduction to H1B Dataset

The H-1B Dataset selected for this project contains data from employer’s Labor Condition Application and the case certification determinations processed by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) where the date of the determination was issues on or after October 1, 2016 and on or before June 30, 2017.

The Labor Condition Application (LCA) is a document that a perspective H-1B employer files with U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (DOLETA) when it seeks to employ non-immigrant workers at a specific job occupation in an area of intended employment for not more than three years.

1.2) Goal of the Project

Our goal for this project is to predict the case status of an application submitted by the employer to hire non-immigrant workers under the H-1B visa program. Employer can hire non-immigrant workers only after their LCA petition is approved. The approved LCA petition is then submitted as part of the Petition for a Non-immigrant Worker application for work authorizations for H-1B visa status.

We want to uncover insights that can help employers understand the process of getting their LCA approved. We will use WEKA software to run data mining algorithms to understand the relationship between attributes and the target variable.

3.1) Class Attribute

For the H-1B Dataset our class attribute is ‘CASE_STATUS’. There are 4 categories of Case Status. The values of Case_Status attributes are:

1) Certified
2) Certified_Withdrawn
3) Withdrawn
4) Denied

Certified means the LCA of an employer was approved. Certified Withdrawn means the case was withdrawn after it was certified by OFLC. Withdrawn means the case was withdrawn by the employer. Denied means the case was denied OFLC.

Context

H-1B visas are a category of employment-based, non-immigrant visas for temporary foreign workers in the United States. For a foreign national to apply for H1-B visa, a US employer must offer them a job and submit a petition for a H-1B visa to the US immigration department. This is also the most common visa status applied for and held by international students once they complete college or higher education and begin working in a full-time position.

• H1B Application Process: Step by Step Guide

Content

This dataset contains five year's worth of H-1B petition data, with approximately 3 million records overall. The columns in the dataset include case status, employer name, worksite coordinates, job title, prevailing wage, occupation code, and year filed.

For more information on individual columns, refer to the column metadata. A detailed description of the underlying raw dataset is available in an official data dictionary.

The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) generates program data, including data about H1-B visas. The disclosure data updated annually and is available online.

The raw data available is messy and not immediately suitable analysis. A set of data transformations were performed making the data more accessible for quick exploration. To learn more, refer to this blog post and to the complimentary R Notebook.

Protein-Protein, Genetic, and Chemical Interactions for Lee H (2004):MSX1 cooperates with histone H1b for inhibition of transcription and myogenesis. curated by BioGRID (https://thebiogrid.org); ABSTRACT: During embryogenesis, differentiation of skeletal muscle is regulated by transcription factors that include members of the Msx homeoprotein family. By investigating Msx1 function in repression of myogenic gene expression, we identified a physical interaction between Msx1 and H1b, a specific isoform of mouse histone H1. We found that Msx1 and H1b bind to a key regulatory element of MyoD, a central regulator of skeletal muscle differentiation, where they induce repressed chromatin. Moreover, Msx1 and H1b cooperate to inhibit muscle differentiation in cell culture and in Xenopus animal caps. Our findings define a previously unknown function for "linker" histones in gene-specific transcriptional regulation.
