On Linux, the   lspci   command lists all PCI devices connected to a host (a computer). Modern computers and PCI devices communicate with each other via   PCI Express   buses instead of the older   Conventional PCI   and   PCI-X   buses since the former buses offer many advantages such as higher throughput rates, smaller physical footprint and native   hot plugging   functionality. The high performance of the PCI Express bus has also led it to take over the role of other buses such as   AGP ; it is also expected that   SATA   buses too   will be replaced   by PCI Express buses in the future as   solid-state drives   become faster and therefore demand higher throughputs from the bus they are attached to (see   this article   for more on this topic). As a first step, open a terminal and run   lspci   without any flags (note:   lspci   may show more information if executed...

Labor certification (not to be confused with the Labor Condition Application - LCA) is a United States of America immigration process step. Its stated goal is to " protect U.S. workers and the U.S. labor market by ensuring that foreign workers seeking immigrant visa classifications are not displacing equally qualified U.S. workers". [1] There are several options available to US employers who wish to hire foreign, non-immigrant workers on a temporary but long-term basis: H-1B visas , L-1 visas , TN status and other options. These temporary options are often sufficient to meet the needs of employer and employee. When a US employer wishes to hire the services of the foreign worker on a permanent basis, however, a complex sponsorship process for the green card begins, a process that can take years. [2] Generally (although not always) the first step in that process is labor certification. Labor certification is a process of proving that there are no quali...

Employers often commonly confuse the LCA (Labor Condition Application) with the LC (PERM Labor Certification). So, what is the difference between an LCA and a LC? →  The Labor Certification (or LC) is a process related to an application for permanent residency (aka a “green card”).  This is a lengthy, complex process in which an employer must follow a process to prove to the Department of Labor (DOL) that there are no available willing and qualified U.S. workers for the given job.  This process can take up to six months to prepare and up to two years to be adjudicated by DOL. → The Labor Condition Application (or LCA), on the other hand, is a form related to an H-1B petition filed by an employer in order to hire a professional worker.  The form is the vehicle by which an employer attests that it will protect wages by paying the H-1B employee a stated amount, protect working conditions, by not making the H-1B worker under condit...
