A Labor Certification for permanent residence visas is issued by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification within the U. S. Department of Labor through Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) which has been in effect since March 28, 2005. Because Labor Certification is a tedious, uncertain, and competitive process (including the requirement of competitive advertising and recruiting) to be completed by a potential employer, assistance from an attorney is indispensable. **While Labor Certification (L/C) is generally required for the Second Preference Employment Visa, a waiver is available for EB-2 workers who have at least a Master's Degree or higher or that person has exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business and can qualify for the National Interest Waiver. Pursuant to 8 C.F.R. 205.4(k)(ii), an exception to Labor Certification may be granted if the petitioner can show that employment is in the national interest of the United States and that the petitioner will have an impact than others in the field or contribution in their area of ability. The Administrative Appeals Unit of the USCIS has also issued rulings on factors to be considered when adjudicating a petition for a National Interest Waiver. Because of the range of criteria open to interpretation and the subjective nature of the requirements, assistance from an attorney is indispensable. A successful candidate for National Interest Waiver is then a self-petitioner as is the EB-1 petitioner who does not need the availability of a job offer or the sponsorship of an employer. WANGLAW has successfully obtained permanent residence for number of extraordinary ability individuals under the EB-1 First Preference and is available to assist talented and accomplished individuals for both EB-1 and EB-2 National Interest Waiver Petitions. When a Petition for a Permanent Employment Based Visa is approved, the petitioner's family, specifically the spouse and children under 21 years of age also become eligible for the Green Card. Please note that preference visas are also subject to numerical limitations. WANGLAW is available to assist employers or their potential temporary workers and families to obtain available Permanent Employment Based Visas for Permanent Residence in the United States of America. Temporary Worker Visas A temporary worker visa is issued to a worker who has prospective employment inside the United States of America for a limited duration of employment. A temporary worker visa does not as of itself result in a Green Card, although some of these visas may be used as a bridge towards Legal Permanent Residency. Temporary worker visas may be subject to numerical caps, the most well known is the H1-B cap which usually is reached before the end of the yearly cycle. Certain temporary worker visas require Labor Condition Certification to be issued by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification within the U. S. Department of Labor. U.

These visas are both purpose and time limited and do not authorize employment. However, employment may be permitted in special situations and may require prior authorization.
