Labor certification is a process whereby an employer proves that they can’t find a worker who has the minimum qualifications for a job who is ready, willing, and able to take it. It is a process that involves advertising sometimes in multiple sets of different media and recruitment through an HR manager, and eventual proof that the employer has been unable to find somebody who meets the minimum qualifications. After that, we can move on to a process whereby the alien, the foreign national applicant, is able to apply for that position.
