In order to start H-1B process or H-1B extension, please complete and submit the “H-1B Prevailing Wage Request

Form” (preferably by e-mail). OISS will submit Prevailing Wage to the Department of Labor (DOL) and send you an e-

mail notifying you the date the prevailing wage was submitted. It may take 30-60 days to get the prevailing wage

determination request.

Once you receive an e-mail from OISS with the results of the prevailing wage determination from DOL submit a copy of

Internal Notice and Actual Wage Statement so OISS can file Labor Condition Application (LCA). Once we receive

copies of these two forms, we can process LCA. LCA process will take 7-10 days.

 Internal Notice of Filing of the LCA signed and after required 10 day posting

 Actual Wage Statement

 H-1B support letter signed by Departmental Chair

for current MSU H-1B employees extending their stay.
