<h3> Foreign Labor Certification Program </h3>
<p>   </p>
<p> Foreign Labor Certification Program 
<br>
Employers requesting labor certification for the temporary or permanent employment of foreign workers are required to offer prevailing  wages and working conditions for that particular occupation and to demonstrate that no similarly employed U.S. worker will be adversely affected. </p>
<p> Applications for Permanent Employment Labor Certifications must be filed directly with the U. S. Department of Labor, not with the Virginia Employment Commission. The form used for filing for a permanent labor certification (ETA Form 9089) and instructions can be found at:
<a href="http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/form.cfm" > http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/form.cfm </a>
<br>
 
<br>
Prevailing Wage Determinations
<br>
January 4, 2010 the Office of Foreign Labor Certification’s (OFLC) National Prevailing Wage and Helpdesk Center was opened and is processing Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) requests for use in the H-1B, H-1B1 (Chile/Singapore), H-2B, E-3 (Australia) and the permanent labor certification programs, as well as PWD requests for use in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Department has posted on the OFLC website Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that address the filing and processing of PWD requests.
<br>
<a href="http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov" > http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov </a>
</p>
<p> The H-2B nonimmigrant program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be (1) one-time, (2) seasonal, (3) peak load or (4) intermittent. There is a 66,000 per year limit on the number of foreign workers who may receive H-2B status during each fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). </p>
<p> Applications for Temporary Employment Labor Certifications (H-2B) Nonagricultural must be filed directly with the
<br>
U. S. Department of Labor, not with the Virginia Employment Commission. The form used for filing for a temporary labor certification (ETA Form 9142 plus APPENDIX B.1) and instructions can be found at:
<a href="http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/form.cfm" > http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/form.cfm </a>
