Dear H1B holders: (1) Has the need for an LCA prevented you from getting on projects? (2) How does your firm handle the process?

Am a SM with Deloitte. Typically it does not stop me from staffing anyone. You can work on the engagement immediately - just not onsite. The process is straight forward and we do it all the time. It just got a little longer - about 10 days now - but it definitely is not limiting xareer options.

On paper No but in reality LCA prevents you from getting on projects especially if the project is short term <5 weeks then the hiring manager chooses another person who doesn't need LCA as LCA requires upto 10 days to process

@C do you only stay local then?

@D1: what practice/service line? Are projects longer term?

I didn't know this was needed. Can anyone explain a bit what this is about? Thanks!
