Title: ●Labor Certification Process for the Permanent Employment of Aliens in the United States; Refiling of Applications
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations relating to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States. The proposed amendments would permit employers to request that any labor certification application for permanent employment filed prior to a certain date and which has not been sent to the regional certifying officer to be processed as a reduction in recruitment request, provided recruitment has not been conducted pursuant to the permanent labor certification regulations. ETA anticipates that proposed amendment would reduce the backlog of labor certification application for permanent employment in State Employment Security Agencies. This Measure to reduce backlogs would result in a variety of desirable benefits, including a reduction in government resources necessary to process applications for alien employment certification a reduction in processing time for both new application and those applications currently in the queue, and would facilitate the development and implementation of a new, more efficient system for processing labor certification applications for permanent employment in the United States.
