From 2021 to 2023, California Air Resources Board has submitted totally 20 Labor Condition Application(LCA) for H1B Visa, 0 Labor Certification(LC) for Green Card under Program Electronic Review Management (PERM).

The above tables report the number of Labor Condition Applications(LCA) and Labor Certifications(LC) filed by California Air Resources Board for H1B Visa and employment based Green Card. The data only indicates the number of applications filed by California Air Resources Board. It does not mean that California Air Resources Board actually got the visa and hired the workers.

Labor Condition Application(LCA) is different from Labor Certification(LC). LC is for employment based green card while LCA is for H1B visa.

Our LCA data not only includes those filed by California Air Resources Board for new h1b visa applications, but also those for H1B Visa tranfers and renews. California Air Resources Board should also file a new Labor Condition Application(LCA) for an H1B Visa petition if the foreign worker changes work location within California Air Resources Board, because the prevailing wage will change. The Immigration and Nationality Act requires that the hiring of a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers comparably employed.
