National Labor Certification Lawyers

Labor certifications are used when employers cannot find suitably qualified candidates willing to fill long-term positions within the United States. When this occurs, the U.S. Department of Labor grants certifications on the condition that doing so does not negatively impact the working conditions or wages of U.S. workers. Employers must seek labor certifications by following a strict — and often government-supervised — recruitment process where eligible candidates are found and interviewed.

Applying for labor certification

An application for permanent labor certification is the first step toward obtaining permanent residence status in the United States for second and third preference employment-based categories, with the exception of national interest waiver applicants. To reduce the time it takes to review and accept (or reject) applications, the Employment and Training Administration implemented the online permanent labor certification program (PERM).

We understand the common reasons certification requests are rejected and work with employers to avoid these pitfalls.
