Ciena Corporation
Ciena Corporation made 29 filings covering 29 positions in this release. Across them it committed to pay at least a median of $155,925 a year. 29 of those 29 state a minimum and no maximum, which is what an employer is required to file — it is the floor it is bound to, not a salary offered.
Green-card sponsorship
Ciena Corporation filed 4 permanent labour certifications between 2025-11-07 and 2026-05-21, of which 4 were certified. That is the step an employment-based green card starts with, so this employer does sponsor them.

A wage is shown against the prevailing wage for the library year the filing itself cites, not the year current today — measured against the wrong year, a correctly-filed wage reads as underpaid.
Tell me when this employer files again
One email when Ciena Corporation appears in a new quarterly release, or files a permanent labour certification — which is the signal that it sponsors green cards.
