H-1B/E-3 Status - New Posting Procedures for LCA Filing Notices

06/19/2009

Dear Subscribers:

Effective June 29, 2009, the Faculty and Scholar Services (FSS) office will incur the responsibility of posting the University’s Labor Condition Application Filing Notices to the public. FSS will post the LCA Filing Notices for 10 working (business) days on the International Center’s website on behalf of the departments and centers that sponsor H-1B and E-3 employees.  The sponsoring departments and centers must submit a LCA Request Form and LCA Filing Notice (http://www.ufic.ufl.edu/downloads/ifss/ETA9035RequestAndFilingtNtc.pdf) with all H-1B and E-3 petitions to FSS.

FSS will continue to electronically generate the LCAs via the Employment and Training Administration’s (ETA’s) website. The new forms associated with filing a LCA and the corresponding instructions have been posted on the FSS web pages under the header H-1B - Labor Condition Applications: http://www.ufic.ufl.edu/fssstatusH1BPetition.htm#2

Remember that the ETA’s new LCA filing procedure will become mandatory for all H-1B and E-3 employers beginning June 30, 2009, and requires strict adherence to petition submission deadlines established by FSS.  

Happy Summer~
