Before an employer can file an H1B petition for a foreign worker, they must first obtain proper authorization from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in the form of a Labor Condition Application (LCA). Before DOL will certify a LCA authorizing the employment conditions for the potential foreign worker, specific criteria must be met. Often times this means that job titles, duties, requirements and wages must be modified in order to meet DOL standards. There are several avenues available to employers when determining the correct job title and wage for their foreign workers. Our years of experience working with the DOL enables us to find solutions to even the most daunting prevailing wage scenarios.
