Sound Legal Advice for Employment Immigration Matters Since 1954
With some exceptions, a prerequisite to the filing of an employment-based immigrant classification petition is the ability to demonstrate a lack of available U.S. workers for the position forming the basis for the immigrant petition.
To establish this condition an employer must apply for a labor certification.
Certification requires a true employer-employee relationship. The employee must have no or very limited ownership interest in the employer.
Furthermore, the offer of employment must be for full-time permanent employment — which means, at the very least, that the employer is seeking to fill a bona fide position of indefinite duration.
Finally, the individual for whom the labor certification is filed must be fully qualified for the position independently of any experience acquired on the job in the same position for which the labor certification application is being filed. If the individual is only qualified for the position by virtue of "on-the-job experience" in the position for which certification is to be sought, a labor certification may not be possible.
For additional information about labor certification or any element of employment-based immigration, please contact Swanson & Swanson. We have helped generations of families. We want to help you, your business and your employees too.
