Updates to the FLAG System for the Prevailing Wage and LCA Programs
/In November, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) released new features and enhancements for the Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) System regarding the ability for users to take actions on submitted applications for the Prevailing Wage, H-2A and LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) programs. Customers will be able to take certain actions on pending Prevailing Wage, H2A and LCA applications under review by OFLC.
Form ETA-9141 (Application for Prevailing Wage Determination):
Request Redetermination for LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) and PERM prevailing wage applications in the “Determination Issued” status within 30 calendar days from the determination date
Request Center Director Review for H-2B prevailing wage applications in the “Determination Issued” status within 7 business days from the determination date
Request Center Director Review for LCA (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3) and PERM prevailing wage applications in the “Redetermination Affirmed” or “Redetermination Modified” statuses within 30 calendar days of the redetermination date
Form ETA-9035 (Labor Condition Application for Nonimmigrant Workers):
Withdraw pending applications in the “In Process” status
Withdraw pending applications in the “Certified” status
As FLAG continues to evolve its platform, practitioners should always submit a FLAG technical Help Desk ticket at: https://flag.dol.gov/support/contact, as this helps OFLC identify, isolate, and hopefully resolve issues.
