Title: ●Labor Condition Applications and Requirements for Employers Using Nonimmigrants on H-1B Visas; Implementation of Electronic Filing 
Abstract: The Department of Labor is amending its regulations governing the filing and processing of labor condition applications for the employment of nonimmigrant aliens on H-1B visas in specialty occupations and as fashion models. The amendments will allow employers the option of submitting LCAs electronically, utilizing Web-based forms and instructions. The electronic filing system will be convenient and less burdensome for employers, since, unlike a system based on filing applications by facsimile transmission or by mail, the new system will allow the filing of an applications without the submission of a "hard copy." Submission by mail or fax will continue to be permitted for employers who prefer one of those formats.
