Strikes and Lockouts

You must attest that there is no labor dispute strike, lockout or work stoppage in the occupational classification of employees of the employer at the intended place of employment.

If a strike or lockout of workers in the same occupational classification as the H-1B worker subsequently occurs at the place of employment, you must notify Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and may not employ any H-1B worker at that site until cleared by DHS.
