How do I get a copy of my LCA?

The most direct path is to request the copy from your employer. The LCA (Labor Condition Application) is a document the company submits to the U.S. Department of Labor and that is part of the supporting documents for your H-1B visa petition.

In practice, the LCA is typically handled by the company’s human resources or legal department. The first step is to reach out to them, explaining that you want to follow the process and verify that the information is accurate.

The employer is responsible for making this document available, since it is part of your case. Keeping communication clear and documented helps you obtain the copy without unnecessary friction.

If you encounter any difficulty, it is worth seeking guidance from HR directly or from an immigration specialist, always verifying information through reliable sources before taking action.
