The Labor Condition Application (LCA) is an application filed by prospective employers on behalf of workers applying for work authorization for the non-immigrant statuses H-1B, H-1B1 (a variant of H-1B for people from Singapore and Chile) and E-3 (a variant of H-1B for workers from Australia).
For every H-1B petition filed with the USCIS, there must be included a Labor Condition Application (LCA) (not to be confused with the Permanent Labor Certification), certified by the U.S. Department of Labor. The LCA is designed to ensure that the wage offered to the non-immigrant worker meets or exceeds the "prevailing wage" in the area of ...
The LCA form is the same as for the H-1B visa, but needs to be annotated "H-1B1-Singapore" or "H-1B1-Chile" as the case may be. An employer may use a single LCA for multiple applicants as long as they all fall within the same category (i.e., they must all be in a single one of the categories: H-1B, H-1B1-Singapore, H-1B1-Chile, E-3).

Companies like IBM and Bank of America seek H-1B visas to fill specialized jobs with foreign workers, arguing there aren’t enough domestic applicants.
An employer must determine H-1B-dependency status every time the employer files a Labor Condition Application. Further, if an employer who did not file as H-1B-dependent at the time of filing the LCA becomes H-1B-dependent when filing Form I-129 , the employer cannot use the LCA and must obtain a new one.
The first part of the Permanent Labor Certification is the Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD). Before the labor market can be tested to see whether any U.S. workers are willing and qualified to work in a given position for which a foreign citizen is being sponsored, the Department of Labor is required to determine what the average prevailing U.S. wage for that position is.
