Quarters and source files

An LCA is the wage an employer commits to before an H-1B petition: the offered annual wage (the middle of the stated range, when there is one) for a certified, full-time position. It is base salary, and one filing can cover several workers. Filings are counted by the quarter of the DOL decision (the federal fiscal year starts in October).
