Title: Labor Condition Applications for Employers Using Nonimmigrants on H-1B Visas in Specialty Occupations and as Fashion Models; Filing Procedures | |
Abstract: Currently, Department of Labor Regulations (hereinafter Department or DOL) allow employers to file labor condition applications (LCA) for the H-1B and H-1B1 programs electronically, by facsimile transmission (FAX), and by mail. The Department seeks comments on a proposal that will require employers to file LCAs electronically, except employers that could not file LCAs electronically due to physical impairments would be allowed to submit LCAs by mail. The rulemaking would also inform employers of changes in address for the submission of LCAs by mail. The Department believes the e-filing process will ensure expeditious processing of H-1B and H-1B1 petitions and limit the number of potentially incomplete applications. In addition it will ease the filing burden on employers. Through e-filing the Department will be better able to capture statistics and analyze H-1B and H-1B1 program data to identify areas that need improvement as well as any fraud or abuse that may lead to future administrative, civil or criminal enforcement actions against H-1B and H-1B1 employers or alien beneficiaries. | |
