I think they meant that 67k applications were approved. Then a random number of those were actually given visas.

Ahhh, ok, so along with @agilecoder comment above, this makes sense. If I have this right then nn LCA sounds similar to an LMO (Labor Market Opinion) in Canada, you need that to prove you are skilled, after which you can apply for the H1B visa.

Then the heading "Companies with the Most H1-B Visas" is misleading. It's a very poorly written/explained article IMO. Thanks for the clarifications.
