Can the DOL develop a process to accelerate the labor certification process for occupations where there is currently a labor shortage?
In essence, there is a labor shortage for every position included on a labor certification application. To ensure fairness to each employer that applies for temporary labor certification under the H-2B program, all applications are processed on a first in, first out basis, with no exceptions. Employers are encouraged to ensure that they have submitted a complete application to the SWAs and all the necessary supporting documentation to avoid any unnecessary delay.
