A Labor Condition Application precedes a petition, so counts show hiring patterns, not approvals. Median wage is the median offered wage in that occupation.

Evidence

American University appears to qualify as an institution of higher education as defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act (public or private nonprofit, accredited or pre-accredited, degree-granting), the first ground named in INA 214(g)(5)(A) and 8 CFR 214.2(h)(8)(iii)(F).

“Appears cap-exempt” is a research opinion based on these public sources; USCIS decides each petition, and the affiliated-nonprofit test in particular is fact-specific. Confirm with American University’s HR or international office and an immigration attorney. Request a correction.
