“This revision to the labor condition application is nothing more than an attempt to discourage contracting out for services by US companies whose contractors employ H-1B professionals,” said Vic Goel, managing partner, Goel & Anderson, according to a column in Forbes magazine. The column discussed a labor condition application form for H-1Bs that came into use on Monday. The column argues the form is designed to inflict reputational damage on high tech employers. The form requires employers of H-1B workers to name companies where the H-1B holder will work on contract, such as a third-party worksite.
