OMB Paperwork Reduction Act (1205-0310). This information collection has been approved under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 under OMB Control Number 1205-0310. Persons are generally not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Your response is required to obtain and/or retain the benefit of an authorization to employ workers under the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Program (Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 212(n) and (t) and 214(c). Your response will be used to determine whether you qualify to employ workers under the program and to ensure you understand and comply with H-1B program requirements. The burden for this collection of information will vary depending on the number of H-1B workers requested on the LCA; however, it is estimated that each individual response is expected to average approximately 1 hour, including the time to review instructions, search existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review the collection of information, however, response times may vary slightly if the employer is requesting approval to hire more than one H-1B worker.

Section A

Employment - Based Nonimmigrant Visa Information


      1. Enter one of the following classification symbols to indicate the type of visa supported by this application: “H-1B”, “H-1B1 Chile”, “H-1B1 Singapore” or “E-3 Australian.” When filing this application electronically, the LCA Online System will provide a dropdown of these approved visa classification symbols.

The H-1B1-Chile visa applies to those employers temporarily hiring business professionals who are nationals of Chile under the Chile Free Trade Agreement.


The H-1B1-Singapore visa applies to those employers temporarily hiring business professionals who are nationals of Singapore under the Singapore Free Trade Agreement.


The E-3 visa applies to those employers temporarily hiring business professionals who are nationals of Australia.

Section I

Additional Employer Labor Condition Statements – H-1B Employers ONLY


All H-1B employers are required to complete Section I of this form in order for an application regarding an H-1B nonimmigrant to be processed. See 20 CFR 655.736 for more detailed guidance as to what constitutes an “H-1B employer” or a “willful violator.”


a. Subsection 1


NOTE: The determination as to whether an employer is H-1B dependent is a function of the number of H-1B nonimmigrants employed as a proportion of the total number of full-time equivalent employees employed in the United States. The following table can be used to determine whether the employer is an H-1B dependent employer:


Number of Full-Time Equivalent

Employees

(U.S. Workers and H-1B Workers)


Number of H-1B Nonimmigrant

Employees



1 to 25

8 or more


26 to 50

13 or more


51 or more

15% or more of the workforce

(US and H-1B workers)


  1. Mark “Yes” or “No” if the employer is H-1B dependent. The employer is an H-1B dependent employer if the number of H-1B nonimmigrants employed by the employer as a proportion of the total number of full-time equivalent employees employed in the United States matches the chart above.


If an employer marks “No” and is or becomes H-1B dependent, the submitted labor condition application shall be deemed invalid and may not be used in support of a new petition or extension of a petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant. By marking “No”, the employer also acknowledges that if it uses this application despite its invalidity, it is required to comply with the Additional Employer Labor Condition Statements in Subsection 2 of section H.


  1. Mark “Yes” or “No” if the employer is a willful violator. The employer is willful violator if the employer has been found during the five (5) years preceding the date of the application (and after October 20, 1998) to have committed a willful violation or a misrepresentation of a material fact.


If an employer marks “No” and was found, prior to the date of filing, to have committed a willful violation or a misrepresentation, the submitted labor condition application shall be deemed invalid and may not be used in support of a new petition or extension of a petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant. By marking “No,” the employer also acknowledges that if it uses this application despite its invalidity, it is required to comply with the Additional Employer Labor Condition Statements in Subsection 2 of section I.


  1. Mark “Yes” or “No” to this question after marking “Yes” to question 1 of Subsection 1 in Section I AND the employer intends to use this application ONLY to support H-1B petitions or extensions of status for expected H-1B nonimmigrants who will receive wages at a rate equal to at least $60,000 per year, or have attained a master’s degree (or equivalent or higher degree) in a specialty related to the employment. The employer also agrees to maintain documentation required by 20 CFR 655.737.


If an employer marks “Yes” the employer acknowledges that if it uses this application in support of a petition or extension of a petition of an H-1B nonimmigrant who is not exempt, it is required to comply with the Additional Employer Labor Condition Statements in Subsection 2 of section I with respect to all H-1B nonimmigrants supported by this application.


b. Subsection 2


All employers that are (1) H-1B dependent (as defined above) and/or (2) have been found to have committed a willful violation or a misrepresentation of a material fact during the five (5) year period preceding the date of this application (and after October 20, 1998), must read and agree to statements (A) through (C) below and demonstrate that agreement by marking “Yes” in Subsection 2 of Section I of this application. The employer agrees to develop and maintain documentation supporting labor condition statements (1) and (4) as specified in 20 CFR 655.738 and 655.739, and to make this document available to DOL officials upon request. The employer also agrees to make available for public examination a copy of the labor condition application and necessary supporting documentation as specified in 20 CFR 655.760 within one (1) working day after the date on which the application has been filed with DOL. This documentation must be retained for public examination at the place of employment or the employer’s principal place of business as specified in Section J of this form. The employer agrees:


    1. Displacement: The employer will not displace any similarly employed U.S. worker within the period beginning 90 days before and ending 90 days after the date of filing a petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant supported by this application.


    1. Secondary Displacement: The employer will not place any H-1B nonimmigrant employed pursuant to this application with any other employer or at another employer’s worksite UNLESS the employer applicant first makes a bona fide inquiry as to whether the other employer has displaced or intends to displace a similarly employed U.S. worker within the period beginning 90 days before and ending 90 days after the placement, and the employer applicant has no contrary knowledge.


If the other employer displaces a similarly employed U.S. worker during such period, the displacement will constitute a failure to comply with the terms of the labor condition application and the employer applicant may be subject to civil money penalties and debarment. See 20 CFR 655.738.

Recruitment and Hiring: Prior to filing any petition for an H-1B nonimmigrant pursuant to this application, the employer took or will take good faith steps meeting industry-wide standards to recruit U.S. workers for the job for which the nonimmigrant is sought, offering compensation at least as great as required to be offered to the H-1B nonimmigrant. The employer will (has) offer(ed) the job to any U.S. worker who (has) applied and is equally or better qualified that the H-1B nonimmigrant


Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Section 212 (n)(1)(G)(ii), 8 U.S.C. 1182), this labor condition statement "C" does not apply to the employment of an H-1B nonimmigrant who is a "priority worker" (defined as a person with extraordinary ability, or outstanding professors or researchers, or certain multi-national executives or managers) within the meaning of Section 203 (b)(1)(A), (B), or (C) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1153.
