International Services Office (ISO), as the petitioner is required to submit information to various Federal and State agencies when petitioning for H-1B status on behalf of a prospective alien employee as the beneficiary. An employment relationship between the petitioner and the beneficiary is required for H-1B status (no unpaid positions or direct external funding is permitted) .  \nH-1B nonimmigrant status is frequently requested by LSUHSC on behalf of individuals coming temporarily to the United States to perform services in a “specialty occupation”(H-1B). A “specialty occupation” is one which requires the theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge, requiring at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific area of study. A nonimmigrant must hold a relevant U.S. baccalaureate degree or higher, or a foreign degree equivalent to a relevant U.S. baccalaureate degree and a state license to practice the profession (or be eligible to receive one), if applicable.  \nLaws and regulations have been enacted which effect an employer’s responsibilities and liabilities in the initial hire and continued employment of H-1B non-immigrants. Under the Immigration and Nationally Act (INA), an employer seeking to employ an alien who is coming temporarily to the U. S. in a specialty occupation on an H- 1B visa is required to file a Labor Condition Application (LCA). The LCA provides a process for protecting the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers in the area of employment from being adversely affected by the employment of foreign temporary workers.  \nIn order to complete the LCA, the ISO must verify and document that the following statements are true:  \n• The H-1B employee will be paid 100% of either the “actual wage” or the “prevailing wage” for the occupation, whichever is higher. Departments should consider that the requirements, particularly years of experience, for any position could effect whether a Skill Level 1, 2, 3 or 4 prevailing wage is provided by the Department of Labor. For more information, contact The International Services Office.  \n• Employing the foreign national will not adversely affect the working conditions of similarly employed  \nU.S. workers and H1B non-immigrants will be afforded working conditions on the same basis, and in accordance with the same criteria, as offered to U. S. workers.  \n• ALL possible/potential work locations that will be regularly used must be included on the 15s. This includes work from home/remote work locations, if the position is eligible for that option. Any location where work is performed occasionally (less than a total of 30 days/year) do not have to be included on the 15. Locations can be added after filing, but an amended petition will be required if the new location(s) is outside the geographic area of the other locations included in the original filing.  \n• The employer has posted a notice (LSUHSC-15) in “two conspicuous locations” at the work site for a minimum often working days. This notice must indicate dates of employment for a full three year period beginning with the proposed start date, as ALL LCA filings will be submitted with a three year duration. The start date must be in the future (the day after expiration of current work authorization/status), not the date employment began if an existing employee is changing status.  \nThis notice must be posted for the full ten day period and submitted to International Services before the H1B petition will be submitted.
