From 2021 to 2023, Cook Children''s Health Care System has submitted totally 1 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 Cook Children''s Health Care System for H1B Visa and employment based Green Card. The data only indicates the number of applications filed by Cook Children''s Health Care System. It does not mean that Cook Children''s Health Care System 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 Cook Children''s Health Care System for new h1b visa applications, but also those for H1B Visa tranfers and renews. Cook Children''s Health Care System should also file a new Labor Condition Application(LCA) for an H1B Visa petition if the foreign worker changes work location within Cook Children''s Health Care System, 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.
