There are several government agencies involved with granting
permission for foreign workers to work in the United States. First, employers
must seek certification through the Department of Labor. Below you will find a
link to documents and forms. Once the application is certified/approved, the
employer must petition the
Bureau
of Citizenship and Immigration Services (formerly the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS)) for a visa. Approval by the Department of Labor
does not guarantee a visa issuance. Applicants must also establish that they
are admissible to the U.S. under provisions of the
Immigration
and Nationality Act (INA).

Certification
Foreign labor certification programs are generally
designed to assure that the admission of foreign workers to work in the United
States on a permanent or temporary basis will not adversely affect the job
opportunities, wages and working conditions of American workers.
