Q: I heard that the Department of Labor introduced a better and faster way of filing for labor certifications. Is that true? How long will the new process take? Should my employer wait before I filing my labor certification? 

A: Currently the Reduction in Recruitment (“RIR”) is quickest way (for most petitioners) to file labor certifications. However, even this expedited process can take up to 2 years (in California). Recently, Department of Labor (“DOL”) enacted a new labor certification program called PERM. PERM will eliminate the need to initially file applications at the local employment office. Under this system all the applications will be submitted directly to the DOL for final adjudication. The DOL promises a turn around time of 21 days. However, the implementation of this new program is being targeted for the first quarter of 2003. The new system is anticipated to accommodate conversions from the regular/RIR labor certification process to the new PERM. Thus, it is in your best interest to have your employer begin the labor certification process on your behalf as early as possible.
