How do I obtain a labor certification?

In order to obtain a labor certification in North Carolina, you must be sponsored by an employer who is seeking to fill a position in the state. Your employer must first show that there are no qualified U.S. workers who can perform the job they are offering to you. They must also demonstrate that you are qualified to fill the position. In order to receive a labor certification, your employer must submit a form called an Application for Permanent Employment Certification to the Department of Labor (DOL). The application must include documents such as job descriptions, proof of job requirements, a statement of the employer’s intent to hire you, and evidence of the employer’s recruitment efforts. The DOL will then review the application and determine whether or not the job requirements are legitimate. If the job requirements are legitimate, there must be an open and available position, and the employer must prove that they have taken reasonable steps to recruit for the position. If the DOL finds that these criteria have been met and that there are no qualified U.S. workers to fill the position, a labor certification will be issued. Once the labor certification has been issued, the employer can then file a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain a green card. Once the petition is approved, you can then apply for permanent residence in the United States.

Para obtener una certificación laboral en Carolina del Norte, primero debe completar la Solicitud de Certificación de Trabajo (ETA Form 9089) proporcionada por la Oficina de Certificación de Trabajo (OFLC) de los EE. UU. Esta aplicación solicita los detalles de la posición laboral para la cual se requiere la certificación, así como los datos generales del solicitante. A continuación, el solicitante debe presentar una solicitud de certificación de empleo a una oficina de trabajo local. La oficina de trabajo validará la solicitud del solicitante para verificar que el trabajo requerido por el solicitante se encuentra dentro de lo requerido para un trabajador del país extranjero. La oficina de trabajo también verificará el estatus de empleo de los trabajadores cualificados nacionales. Si la oficina de trabajo confirma que el trabajo solicitado está disponible, entonces el trabajo es elegible para una certificación de trabajo. La oficina de trabajo enviará la información recopilada sobre el solicitante a US OFLC para la consideración final. Si la certificación laboral es aprobada, el solicitante recibirá una carta de aprobación de certificación laboral y podrá iniciar el proceso de solicitud de visa de trabajo.
