How to get your Certified LCA when DOL’s iCert Portal is temporarily down

If you've got a visa interview coming up, you'll know that a signed “Certified” Labor Condition Agreement (LCA) is a crucial requirement. With the Department of Labor's (DOL) iCert Portal currently down, how can you get access to your certified LCA?

I did some calling around and the Department of Labor suggested:

Emailing all relevant details (LCA number, who you are, your reason for contacting) and questions to: [email protected] – There's a CHANCE you might be able to get an emailed copy.

I can't guarantee the authenticity of this, but if you call DOL (number from the website: 1-866-487-2365), they will tell you to call the Chicago National Processing Center (312) 886-8000. When you call them, they will tell you to do the above!

Good luck!


UPDATE (10/8/2019): iCert has now become Foreign Labor Application Gateway
