25. Termination of employment / termination of H-1B Petition and Labor Condition Application

If an employee ceases to be employed, the employer must cancel the H-1B Petition as well as the underlying Labor Condition Application. The employer is to send a letter to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service Center that adjudicated the petition, noting the receipt number and request that the petition be cancelled. The address where the letter should be sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) is located on the approval notice.

Additionally, a similar letter is to be sent to the United States Department of Labor, citing the ETA file number which is listed on the Labor Condition Application. Said letter is to be mailed to:

U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
Division of Foreign Labor Certification
200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room C-4312
Washington, DC 20210
