Labor Certification is the first step in the second (EB-2) and third (EB-3) preference employment-based immigration ("green card") categories. Essentially, at this stage of the employment-based green card proceedings the U.S. employer must test the local labor market and prove to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that there are not sufficient workers able, wiling and qualified for the position that they wish to sponsor a foreign national for. The U.S. employer must also prove that employment of the foreign national will not adversly affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. The method currently used by the DOL to certify labor certifications is PERM (Program Electronic Review Management System).
