18 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2024–FY2026.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Southwest Metro Intermediate District 288's own public LCA filings (FY2024–FY2026) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
Median offered wage is 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 18 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
Next end date: 2026-10-31. Employing an H-1B worker past the LCA end date without a new certified LCA is a strict-liability violation — the replacement LCA must be certified before the I-129 extension is filed.
Multi-position LCAs are efficient, but every unused position must be withdrawn and every filled position needs its own PAF entry.
Each worksite needs its own 10-business-day LCA notice and a PAF record of that posting; a move to a new area of intended employment needs a new LCA before the worker starts there.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
