New LCA Form

The new ETA Form 9035, Labor Condition Application, cleared the Office of Management and Budget on October 18, 2018. The Department of Labor Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has indicated to stakeholders that they plan to host two webinars to provide guidance on the revised form prior to implementation. Additionally, OFLC has stated that they will announce a transition plan, expected to be implemented over a 30-45-day period, which will include instructions on when the old form expires and a date by which stakeholders must begin using the new form. Among other changes, the new form requires additional details about the end-user clients and potential worksite information specific to the third party placement of H-1B workers.
