Quesiton about LC

[zeta411]

Guys

Please answer this question for me. This is for a friend of mine. The company he is working for had promised to file the LC in April but now they are not sure since they had layed of some people in a different skillset than what my friend working.

If a Company A layoffs some employees, can't they file LC for the existing employees till six months? If so the company can't submit LC for any of the employee? Or it is specific to departments / roles?

Thank you for the help.

Why can't your "friend" come here and ask the same question? Are you his mouthpiece?

Depends, if they layoffs people in 6 months in similar occupation then if they file LC it will get rejected. I doubt department matters but location matters companies can layoff people in one state and file LC in another state. Skill matters. Basically the employer(lawyer) has to say that the area of employment or "duties" are "significantly" different for this LC and the employees affected by layoffs. It could be tricky so companies wait for 6 months after layoffs in order to avoid rejection. Give me green if it is helpful.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. This is from my web research when my company filed my LC last year, which might not be reliable.
