EffectiveMonday, November 19, 2018, the DOL released a new LCA(Form ETA-9035) which must be used on all immigration filings going forward. Acertified LCA must be included in immigration filings for H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 status.  The DOL generally certifies an LCAapproximately 7-10 days after submission of the LCA to the DOL.    
Certifiedand date-valid LCAs in the old format can still be used in immigration filings,provided the LCAs have unused slots in the appropriate filing category, e.g.new employment, continuation of employment without change, etc. 
Forall immigration filings, the new LCA requires the legal business name of theend-client(s) as well as the street address of the worksite(s) where theemployee will physically work.
ForH-1B masters cap petitions, the new LCA requires:
o  Thename of the institution that awarded the employee’s master’s degree;
o  Thefield of study in which the employee’s master’s degree was awarded;
