The concerned authority will submit the position discrimination to the US Department of Labor for principal wage determination. This is done to comply with labor laws regarding the offered wage.

Then, the authority will prepare a Labor Condition Application when the salary meets or is greater than the principal wage determination.

[{"selector":"#anim-60a32544-b38f-4821-9b08-30ba0f4076b7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The department is then mandated by law to post the LCA at the working sites for a minimum of 10 working business days.

[{"selector":"#anim-f1d4e64d-a4d8-44e9-be21-b18bb4f41820 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40b5b9fc-a8a5-4a9f-85db-048774a9bad2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2cd39b4-5a27-49b4-a444-af04e90866e3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 148.14819%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-469f6f28-2eea-485f-bf1a-1f6888bb350d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1b855be-3d03-4464-97dc-866c41e146f8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-109.26966%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The department then verifies the LCA, which was posted, and the OIA submits the LCA to the DOL to get official approval of the certificate.

[{"selector":"#anim-2cbb448e-0b09-445c-b110-0bd81236dda5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

OIA then completes I-129 forms and complies with certified LCA for related documentation of submission to the USCIS.
