The faxback service will no doubt come as some relief, however, to applicants for H-1B visas who are filing at the California Service Center. LCA processing at the DOL office in San Francisco was largely shut down for the first quarter of the calendar year. Unable to solve the problem, the DOL is hoping the new faxback system will be a workaround until the old system is fixed. Apparently, many people are putting a phone number here rather than a fax number. Also, the fax machine has to be on 24 hours a day.
Employers can use their own numeric codes on the forms to help identify matters.
Any number up to six digits can be used, but be sure to use the same number on each of the two pages of the form. Apparently some people are having a problem with pages being reduced to a quarter of a page when it prints. You do not need to have an HP printer to set up an HP printer driver on your computer. You would need to choose the HP printer driver as the default driver prior to printing out the form.
