We
are in the midst of the H-1B season. If you have not yet begun to
prepare the H-1B for the April 1st filing date, do not despair. It is
not too late. It will take about a week or so to submit and receive an
approval for the Labor Condition Application (LCA - Form 9035) from the
U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) but there is still time. The most
important thing to do now is to immediately ask your employer to submit
an H-1B Petition on your behalf.
