18 certified Labor Condition Applications on file with the U.S. Department of Labor, FY2023–FY2026.
Since September 2025, DOL's Project Firewall opens H-1B investigations without waiting for a complaint. These checkpoints come from Upward Innovations LLC's own public LCA filings (FY2024–FY2026) — the same records an investigator pulls first.
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%.
Median offered wage is 1% above the DOL prevailing wage across 15 recent certified LCAs. Paying at the floor is lawful, but it invites the question of whether the wage level itself is right.
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.
Next end date: 2026-10-11. 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.
Public DOL disclosure data can lag actual filings by a quarter. Descriptive only — not legal advice.
