Labor certifications are one of the most common methods of employment based immigration.
The purpose of a labor certification is to ensure that there are not enough qualified, willing and currently available US workers, and that the employment of the alien will not adversely effect wages and conditions of similarly situated US workers. One of the ways in which these goals are accomplished is by recruitment. In a traditional labor certification, recruitment is supervised by the state employment security agency. This process is often time-consuming. Also, the recruitment required by the states is often not reflective of the real world.
