Applications for Permanent Labor Certification - HR 116
Abstract: Sponsoring an alien for a permanent residence (a "green card") pursuant to a permanent faculty or non-faculty position requires approval both from the US Department of Labor and appropriate persons at UAB. For faculty positions, such approval must certify that the alien is the best qualified applicant for the job. In the case of non-faculty positions, the approval must certify that no minimally qualified U.S. worker was identified or available to take the position.
