QUESTION
Can I file for my own labor condition application with the Department of Labor?
Asked on Oct 16th, 2013 on Immigration - Missouri
More details to this question:
I have an H1b visa that is valid till September 2015. My employer has initially filed a labor condition application as role A and they are filing another labor condition application again for another state as role B as the current project I am working is closing. But role B is completely irrelevant of my skills. Is it okay to file different role with Department of Labor? I am planning to leave the company in near future. So, if I am joining another organization, will there be any problem to apply for labor condition application with my original skill which is role A?

That is the employer's job not yours to file the LCA.

The employer must file the labor condition application, not the employee.

You cannot file an H1-B for yourself. If you plan to work for multiple employers, each employer must file a separate H1-B petition.
