DOL Launches Project Firewall to Enforce H-1B Visa Compliance

January 26, 2026

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced “Project Firewall,” an enforcement initiative to ensure employer compliance with the H-1B visa program.

The DOL outlines key employer obligations under the H-1B visa program, including filing a Labor Condition Application (LCA), meeting posting requirements, and maintaining public access files. Varnum assists clients by filing LCAs and providing guidance on posting and public access file requirements in anticipation of enforcement under Project Firewall.

Employers with questions are encouraged to contact Varnum’s Immigration Practice Team.
