Labor Certification Process

The Labor Certification process is a key step for employers in the U.S. who want to hire foreign workers for certain jobs. It requires the employer to prove that there are no qualified American workers available for the position, and that hiring a foreign worker won't negatively impact U.S. wages or working conditions. The employer must advertise the job, interview candidates, and submit paperwork to the Department of Labor. Once approved, this certification allows the employer to sponsor the foreign worker for a visa, enabling them to work legally in the U.S.
