LCA FAXBACK SYSTEM FINALLY ON TRACK After months of problems and complaints from those trying to use the system, the Department of Labor faxback system for processing Labor Condition Applications appears to be working smoothly. H-1b regulations require that applicants for specialty occupation visas get the Department of Labor to approve a Labor Condition Application documenting that they are being paid the prevailing wage and their being hired will not worsen working conditions for American workers. This past spring the Department of Labor developed a system where LCAs would be printed out on an applicant’s computer and then faxed to the Department of Labor for approval. Using scanning software, the DOL computers could instantly approve or deny the application and send the applicant the decision via fax. While approval times are not instant, most regions of the Labor Department are able to process LCAs the same day they arrive.
