We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. The H-1B visa program allows employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in the U. There are several stages to the H1B process, each with their own time frame, which must be taken into consideration when planning to apply for H1B status.
To ensure you have provided sufficient time to begin employment in the October, you should work backwards from the fixed deadline of the H1B window opening in April of the same year. Even where the petition is made by a cap-exempt organisation, full processing of the H1B petition will still be carried out. The registration window is open for 14 days in March.
If oversubscribed, a random selection process will be used to identify registrants to be invited to make a full H1B application. The filing window for the full H1B petition will open from April 1. Applicants have 90 days from the date they are notified of their selection to make their full submission.
As the H1B visa cap window opens in April, the corresponding employment should begin by the beginning of October. If the employment is due to start more than 6 months later, i. Filing a petition for employment to start more than 6 months later will result in the petition being denied. If insufficient supporting evidence has been provided, the petition may be rejected at this stage. This will in all likelihood lengthen the processing time. The Labor Condition Application LCA is a statement filed by the employer with the Department of Labor which assures working conditions for the H1B applicant and confirms that the salary for the H1B role is equivalent to that of similarly employed workers or where more, that it is the prevailing wage in the local area.
If this is the first time that the employer has filed an LCA, the processing time could be up to two weeks. If the employer has previously filed an LCA, the processing time is likely to be around a week. The cookie is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Analytics".

Once prepared, the LCA is filed online and is typically certified by the Department of Labor in 10 business days. The employer's responsibilities continue during the employment of the H-1B visa holder. As long as the employer continues to employ the H-1B visa holder, the employer must continue to pay the employee at least the wage indicated on the LCA and in the indicated geographic location.
