LCA received for 2011, can i use it for 2012 ?

[agokarn]

Hi,
My H1b petition was progressing fine and i received my LCA on 26th Jan 2011.
Unfortunately that was the very day the quota exhausted for 2011.
I need to know if that LCA remains valid for 2012 application.

Thanks
Ankush

The validity of the LCA will be mentioned in the lCA itself. You need a new LCA after that period. H1B petitions are approved only till the validity of the LCA.
