With restricted exceptions, all EB-2 and EB-3 permit applications require that the employer get a Labor employment Certification from the U.S. Department of Labor. For petitions requiring this step, the Labor Certification process is typically the hardest and most tough step. Prior to being able to file the Labor Certification application, the company should get a fundamental wage from the Department of Labor and show that there are no minimally certified U.S. workers offered for the positions through the conclusion of a competitive recruitment procedure.
When it comes to positions which contain teaching duties, the employer must document that the picked candidate is the "finest qualified" for the position. This process is commonly called "Special Handling."
In both the "basic" and the "special handling" process, the employer must complete a formal recruitment process to record that there are no minimally qualified U.S. workers available or that, when it comes to positions that have a teaching part, that the picked candidate is the very best qualified. It is common that this recruitment procedure need to be completed well after the foreign nationwide staff member began their position at the University.
As quickly as the Labor Certification has been submitted with the Department of Labor, the "concern date" for the candidate is established. This date is important to determine when somebody can finish action # 3, i.e. the Adjustment of Status. (If no Labor Certification is required, the concern date is established with the filing of the Immigrant Petition/ Form I-140.
2. Immigrant Petition
Once the Department of Labor authorizes the Labor Certification, the Immigrant Petition (Form I-140) can be submitted with USCIS. In cases where no Labor Certification is required (e.g. EB-1), the filing of the I-140 is the primary step of the green card process.
