Foreign Labor Certification Mission Statement
The mission of the Foreign Labor
Certification Program is to allow employers to hire foreign workers, temporarily
or permanently, when there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able,
willing, qualified, and available to perform the job. In addition, the
program will ensure that the employment of the foreign worker will not adversely
affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers that are similarly employed.
These factual determinations are required to carry out the
Secretary of Labor's responsibilities under the
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), which regulates
the admission of aliens into the U.S. The role of the Department of Labor is to
certify to the Secretary of State and the Attorney General that these conditions
are met before a foreign worker is brought to the U.S. on an employment-based
visa.
