What is the department or division promising in filing an H-1B application?
(A) The Department of Labor (DOL) requires an attestation from the U that the “prevailing wage” for the particular position is being paid. Upon receipt of an approved Labor Condition Application, the actual H-1B application is submitted to the USCIS. This application includes documentation about the nature of the position and the individual’s qualifications. If approved, the individual must obtain the H-1B visa overseas or receive a USCIS change or extension of status to H-1B in the U.S.
