It has been said that the labor certification process forms the backbone of employment-based immigration. It is estimated that approximately 60,000 labor certification applications are filed annually[1]� and the Department of Labor (DOL) currently has over 280,000 pending cases nationally.
With limited exceptions, obtaining a labor certification from the DOL is a prerequisite to filing paperwork for permanent residence with the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). The labor certification process was created to ensure that the immigration of a foreign national on the basis of an employment offer will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers.[2]�
