Alien Labor Certification

Alien Labor Certification is a process through which employers in the United States can hire foreign workers for jobs that cannot be filled by qualified U.S. workers. The employer must demonstrate that there are no available or willing American workers for the position and that hiring a foreign worker won’t negatively impact the wages and working conditions of U.S. employees. This certification is often a necessary step before a foreign worker can apply for a visa to work in the U.S. It ensures that hiring foreign labor aligns with labor market needs while protecting domestic workers.
