07/30/2005: DOL's Proposed Rule of Elimination of LC Substitution is Likely Released Next Month

As we reported earlier, the DOL and USCIS are in the process of rule making to eliminate the permanent labor certification substitution and 45-day validity cap on the certified labor certification application. The proposed rule is likely to be published in August. However, we cannot rule out the delay as affected by change in the Chief of Division of Foreign Labor Certification in DOL. Please stay tuned.
 
Need preapproved labor for Java-Oracle-DOT NET

Hi everyone,

Since there has been talk of labor substitutions going to be eliminated, I would like to talk to anyone who has preapproved labor certifications that I can use. I have some good projects in hand and we can discuss the rates etc. I've 6 years of experience in J2EE/DB etc. and have a Masters Degree from an Ivy League school in the US.

Please let me know if you have something. This is kind of urgent.

Thanks,

Floyd
 
OMB Approved DOL's Proposed Rule to Eliminate Substitution of LC

08/12/2005: OMB Approved DOL's Proposed Rule to Eliminate Substitution of LC and 45-Day Cap for Approved LC

On August 10, 2005, the OMB cleared the DOL's proposed rule entitled Labor Certification for the Permanent Employment of Aliens in the United States; Reducing the Incentives and Opportunities for Fraud and Abuse for publishing in the federal register. In this rule, the DOL is proposing changes to reduce the incentives and opportunities for fraud and abuse related to the permanent employment of aliens in the United States. Among other key changes, the DOL is proposing to (1) eliminate the current practice of allowing the substitution of alien beneficiaries on applications and approved labor certifications. DOL is proposing to further reduce the likelihood of the submission of fraudulent applications for the permanent employment of aliens in the United States by (2) proposing a 45-day deadline for employers to file approved permanent labor certifications in support of a petition with the Department of Homeland Security. The proposed rule expressly prohibits the sale, barter, or purchase of permanent labor certifications or applications, as well as related payments. DOL will also (3) propose enforcement mechanisms to protect program integrity, including debarment with appeal rights. These proposed amendments would apply to employers using both the Application for Alien Employment Certification (Form ETA 750) or the Application for Permanent Employment Certification (Form ETA 9089).
Considering the recent DOL policy change to prevent labor certification frauds, it is anticipated that this proposed rule will be published in the federal register very swiftly. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this rule-making.
 
Need preapproved labor certificate

Is there any one who still has preapproved labor for Java/J2EE related skills preferably EB2?

If you have one please contact me at floyd5432@yahoo.com or PM me here.

I wanted to see if it will be possible to get something before the rules change.

Thanks,

Floyd
