H-1B Advisor

Every H-1B worker has a place of employment/worksite where the worker's work is actually performed. This worksite is the place to which many requirements are tied, such as the labor condition application's (LCA's) area of intended employment, prevailing wage, actual wage, required wage rate (RWR), posting of notice and the strike/lockout prohibitions.

Which of the following scenarios do you use for H-1B workers in your business? (Select all that apply.)

Extended assignment to a fixed site

Travel to a location for temporary developmental activities such as training or conference
