The Secretary of Labor has to certify that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, available, and qualified for the job. The labor certification must establish that the alien will not displace U.S. workers or adversely affect the wages or working conditions of U.S. workers. The labor certification process is required for EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visas.
