Labor Certification is a U.S. immigration concept. As a rule Labor Certification is treated as a process of providing that there are no qualified US workers for the position that is required. So in case there are qualified US workers, the foreign worker cannot be offered the permanent position.

Labor Certification process can be quite a intricate matter. Generally a U.S. employer seeks a Labor Certificate from the US Department of Labor for the benefit of a foreign employee. This Labor Certificate is a pre-requisite for a U.S. employer to file an immigration petition for the foreign employee. This petition is based on EB-2 and EB-3 categories.
