13 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2021–FY2025.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from State of Washington Department of Social and Health Services's own public LCA filings (FY2023–FY2025) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
Median offered wage is 0% above the DOL prevailing wage across 4 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
Withdrawn or denied LCAs are normal in isolation; a high share suggests workers were moved between filings and the paper trail needs checking.
Next end date: 2026-12-15. 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.
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.
Level I is the entry-level prevailing-wage tier and the band DOL's Project Firewall reviews first for misclassification (senior duties filed at an entry-level wage). The national share is 17%.
No additional recruitment or non-displacement attestations apply.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
