>You need to prove that there are no US citizens able to fill the role before you sponsor a H1 visa.

Pretty sure that's wrong; the requirement for an H1 is a LCA (Labor Condition Application) which is primarily a prevailing-wages thing along with some other labor condition items (e.g. there's not a strike ongoing at the location where you're trying to hire).

Only companies flagged as H1 dependent or 'willful violators' need to certify that they've attempted to hire locally.

Ok, maybe I'm wrong – I understand the initial process for L1B a bit better than H1B.

Blanket L1 app, there was an _absolutely enormous_ document stack with all sorts of things(for a blanket L1). Including all the skills, and how many people satisfied those skills in the US. Also information how the company would be able to afford the wages (Fortune 100).

How much of this was absolutely required and how much was the law firm anticipating requests I do not know. The information about skill availability in the US headquarters was absolutely mandatory though.

facebook, having over 15% h1b in the us, was classified as h1b dependent.
