DOL PROMULGATES NEW LABOR CERTIFICATION RULES
Posted on:5/31/2007
By Attorneys Robert L. Reeves and Elsie H. Arias
Addressing concerns about fraud and abuse of the labor certification system, the Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced new regulations regarding labor certifications, including ending employers' ability to substitute alien beneficiaries, imposing a 180-day validity period of labor certifications, and regulating the payment of attorney fees associated with the filing of labor certifications. These rules will take effect on July 16, 2007.
As we have previously discussed in this column, the labor certification process is necessary for alien workers to gain lawful permanent residence through an employer for most occupations. Before the Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the DOL must first certify to the USCIS that: (1) there are not sufficient U.S. workers, who are able, willing, qualified, and available at the time of the application for a visa and admission into the U.S. and at the place where the alien is to perform the work; and (2) the employment of the alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
One major change in the adjudication of labor certifications is the substitution of a beneficiary. Although not codified in law or regulation, the USCIS and DOL permits the substitution of new beneficiaries for pending or approved labor certifications to accommodate employers and their labor needs. Unfortunately, the DOL claimed that some unscrupulous lawyers and employers sold labor certifications to foreign nationals not originally identified as the beneficiary and where a bona fide job opportunity did not exist. To prevent this type of abuse in the labor certification system, the DOL will prohibit the substitution of alien beneficiaries on the rule's effective date. Previously-approved substitutions and requests for substitution! s made p rior to July 16, 2007, will remain valid.
In its new rule, the DOL will also impose a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. Labor certifications are presently valid for an indefinite time, but after July 16, 2007, employers must file the I-140 immigrant visa petitions with the USCIS within 180 days of the labor certification approval. Immigrant visa petitions filed after 180 days of a labor certification's approval will be denied because the labor certification will no longer be considered valid. Labor certifications approved before the rule's effective date of July 16, 2007, will also be subject to the 180-day deadline, i.e., employers will need to file I-140 visa petitions based on these prior labor certifications prior to January 12, 2008.
The DOL also clarifies in its impending rule that the barter, purchase, and sale of labor certifications is prohibited, and sets forth the ramifications for employers or attorneys engaged in this unlawful conduct, including suspension, criminal indictment, and disbarment.
The most controversial part of the DOL's new rule concerns the payment of costs and attorney fees associated with filing labor certifications. The regulations are presently silent as to whether employer or employee should bear these costs, but the new rule clearly delineates each party's financial obligations. Effective July 16, 2007, attorneys representing both the employer and alien worker in a labor certification must be paid directly by the employer for legal fees associated with preparing the application and representation before the DOL. Employers will also be responsible for paying for advertisements and related costs, which the DOL believes will help safeguard the integrity of the labor certification process. These costs cannot be transferred to or shared with the alien worker. Should the foreign national retain an attorney to represent him in the labor certification process, and this attorney will not also be representing the employer, ! the fore ign national will be allowed to pay fees directly to the attorney. This particular rule may be challenged by various immigration attorneys through litigation for interfering with contractual relationships between an attorney and a client.
Obtaining a labor certification from the DOL entails complex issues legally and procedurally for both the employer and foreign national seeking resident status. Employers and individuals seeking legal representation in these matters should consult experienced immigration counsel.

1. You stopped worrying because you got your EAD at least.
2. USCIS is not asking to prove relationship with your great grandparents every time you go for H1B extension
3. You don’t need to worry about the VO at POE or consulate and not postponing your India trip for 3-4 years now.
4. Even though you are on project and pay roll is running, paying the tax...don’t lose your sleep over what memo comes next before the next H1B extension.
Our people are not worrying until it strikes them. Till then they will ask all sorts of questions and have attitude of why should I donate. You can see now and then a thread on IV - Help urgent, I-485 denied, H4- denied.
Why its urgent now for them...?
Totally agree with ya.
Unless crises strikes people and they are shatters they do not care.
Just see the old threads of EAD delays. All these people with EADs were sobbing on those threads pleading to IV to help them. Most did not have a donor status or had contributed a dime. They were on the verge of losing their jobs when IV helped them get their EADs on time. Now where are all those hundreds of people. Are they contributing a dime for the lobby day? I bet after 2 years, they will come again to IV and sob about EADs delays and ask IV to help them.

House GOP threatens to �blue-slip� bill (The Hill)
By Jonathan Allen
Lawmakers are shrouding themselves in a thin slip of blue paper as deep divisions on immigration policy are again being laid bare.
House Republicans have threatened to deliver a �blue slip� rejection of the Senate immigration bill, and Senate Democrats are blocking efforts to circumvent that maneuver.
The result is a procedural paralysis that has prevented the two chambers from even naming conference negotiators, a clear sign of the difficulties facing proponents of an immigration overhaul.
The Senate-written immigration bill contains tax provisions, violating the Constitution�s requirement that all revenue measures originate in the House. Any House member could object to the Senate bill on that basis, forcing debate and a vote on whether to reject the measure outright.
Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas (R-Calif.) is considered the most likely to raise such an objection, but any number of House conservatives would be happy to kill the Senate bill. To avoid that fate, Senate Republican leaders want to bring up a separate House-passed tax bill, gut it and replace its provisions with the Senate immigration bill. But Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has objected to that maneuver.
Reid said he is concerned that using a House-passed tax vehicle could invite the introduction of unrelated tax cuts into House-Senate conference negotiations. If President Bush wants progress on the bill, he should tell House Republicans, �Don�t raise the blue-slip issue,� Reid said.
But Republicans say the problem is Reid, not the blue slip.
�Unfortunately, the minority leader over there, Harry Reid, continues to stand in the way,� House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said yesterday. �I think he ought to quit playing politics.�
As lawmakers engaged a new round of finger-pointing yesterday, one thing remained clear: The immigration bill is stuck.
Conservative Republicans are dead-set against the Senate bill, which would beef up border security, establish a temporary-worker program and allow many of the 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the country now to become citizens eventually.
The House version focuses solely on border security, and many House Republicans say the Senate bill would grant amnesty to millions of immigrants who broke the law to get here.
But proponents of the Senate bill say the blue-slip threat is merely a distraction, one of a number of tools the bill�s critics could use to thwart its progress if they chose to do so. If the will exists to strike a deal, they say, procedural roadblocks will not be a problem.
�Some technical blue slip is not going to stop any resolution that we come to,� Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a chief proponent of the Senate bill, said yesterday. �Let�s not get caught up in the minutiae and the weeds.�
McCain was among the leaders of a bipartisan core of senators who struck a deal on the immigration bill and then shepherded it through the Senate last month. Sixty-two senators, most of them Democrats, voted for the final bill.
The legislation drew harsh criticism from Senate conservatives, many of whom voted against it. Even if Reid were to allow GOP leaders to move forward, there is no guarantee that Republican senators would not use procedural weapons to stop action.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) tried to kill the bill on its first trip through the Senate.
Sessions sent a �Dear Colleague� letter yesterday in which he urged colleagues to study the details of the immigration bill, particularly the number of legal immigrants it would allow into the country in future years.
�It remains deeply flawed,� he wrote.
Republicans hinted yesterday that they have other options for getting around the blue-slip problem.
�There�s always a Plan B,� said Eric Ueland, chief of staff to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).
In 2000, House and Senate leaders circumvented a similar problem by appointing �shadow� conferees to a bankruptcy bill and attaching their work product to the conference report on a separate bill, according to Walter J. Oleszek�s Congressional Procedures and the Policy Process.
But alternatives and timelines were in short supply yesterday.
�Things can break loose at any time,� Ueland said.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD EVENING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

good point ..I do invest in stocks / ETF's and funds ...but I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!! be diversified, invest in good companies (invest only pocket money/minor amount in very risky assets) and for the long term ..i.e. you should not need that money during emergencies ..STAY AWAY from all day trading softwares !!! and if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
Hi Albertopinto,
Can you pls elaborate on why your are suggesting to stay away from day trading? wht kind of exp hv you had with day trading? I want to know the pros and cons and hear the experience from ppl with hands on / who hv tried day trading in the US and found it too risky. Thanks!

you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled. I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.
TITLE VI--FAMILY UNITY AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
Sec..1601..Elimination of existing backlogs.
Sec..1602..Country limits.
Sec..1603..Allocation of immigrant visas.
Sec..1604..Relief for children and widows.
Sec..1605..Amending the affidavit of support requirements.
Sec..1606..Discretionary authority.
Sec..1607..Family unity.

Please use proper language 'money helper'
You think you can make people who are not even aware of 'day trading' the greatest financial experts, by your 'blogs' (where are they?)
I don't want your 'cake', for that matter anybody's. You eat well (and have stomach problems). Why bother to educate this nonsense here.
I asked because when you try people to this trap, you should have the basic decency to tell atleast how much you lost!
if people are interested in financial investments and if they have enough knowledge, surely they won't come here to read your crap. Anyway those who become educated reading things here are destined to lose.
i dont understand why people wants to contradict in every post, chintu is trying to share some knowledge if u dont want it thats fine u dont need to contradict it....even i dont do this stock stuff but that does not mean i should contradict it...

I am ROW-3, Applied for I-485 and EAD cards for my self and my family members. RD 06/19/07, ND 07/19/07. Received EAD cards, finished finger prints and waiting for name check.
I have another family petition (theu my Dad) and my periorty date became current this month. I do not know what to do. To go ahead and apply for GC using may father's petition or to waite untile I hear from INS regarding the work petition.
The cost will be about 4,000 $ and I am afraid that I will be stuck in the name check againe. I was told that I can only have one pending GC petition at all times. The advantage of the family based petition is to be able to work for any employer, no restrictions at all.
Any ideas, please advise.
Can you replace the underlying I-140 with I-130? I know it's possible to replace an I-140 with another.
