• A. Who will be incumbent in a temporary position ("Temporary" is defined as that which is not permanent or that which is for a definite term as opposed to an indefinite term);
• B. Who will perform services in a specialty occupation (Most professional jobs are classified as "specialty occupations"); and
• C. On whose behalf the employer has obtained an approved Labor Condition Application

• a. Obtaining Prevailing Wage Determination
  We first need to obtain a prevailing wage determination from the local employment office that has jurisdiction over the geographical area of employment. Having obtained the prevailing wage for the offered position we will then file an LCA with Department of Labor.
  
• b. Applying to the U.S. Department of Labor
  An LCA is an application to the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL"), whereby an employer assures the DOL that hiring of a foreign worker would not be detrimental to similarly situated U.S. workers. DOL will routinely approve the LCA if it is completed and signed. The approved LCA will then be sent back to us for filing with the immigration & Naturalization Service along with the petition for H-1B classification.

2. Filing with the Immigration & Naturalization Service ("INS")
Filing with the INS entails submitting proof of the employee's qualifications and of the offered job conforming to the criteria explained above in this letter. Additionally, certain forms will be submitted describing the job and providing certain basic information about the employer.
Application to the INS is the last step in the H-1B classification process. On rare occasions INS may require further documentation to prove various elements of H-1B classification.
