Certified
and date-valid LCAs in the old format can still be used in immigration filings,
provided the LCAs have unused slots in the appropriate filing category, e.g.
new employment, continuation of employment without change, etc.
For
all immigration filings, the new LCA requires the legal business name of the
end-client(s) as well as the street address of the worksite(s) where the
employee will physically work.
For
H-1B masters cap petitions, the new LCA requires:
o
The
name of the institution that awarded the employee’s master’s degree;
o
The
field of study in which the employee’s master’s degree was awarded;
o
The
date on which the employee’s master’s degree was awarded; and
o
Documentation
substantiating the employee’s master’s degree information.
MU’s employer checklists for H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 filings
have been updated to request this information from employers at case
initiation.
