What is the difference between a Labor Certification and a Work Permit?
A Work Permit or Employment Authorization is a document that the USCIS issues to aliens stating that they are eligible to work on a temporary basis within the U.S. A Labor Certification, however, does not give the alien authorization to work within the U.S. Rather, a Labor Certification is the first step that allows the employer Company to file an immigration petition on the alien’s behalf.
