Labor Certification Process


20 CFR 656.32 - Revocation of approved labor certifications.

  • Section Number: 656.32
  • Section Name: Revocation of approved labor certifications.

    (a) Basis for DOL revocation. The Certifying Officer in consultation 
with the Chief, Division of Foreign Labor Certification may take steps 
to revoke an approved labor certification, if he/she finds the 
certification was not justified. A labor certification may also be 
invalidated by DHS or the Department of State as set forth in Sec. 
656.30(d).
    (b) Department of Labor procedures for revocation. (1) The 
Certifying Officer sends to the employer a Notice of Intent to Revoke an 
approved labor certification which contains a detailed statement of the 
grounds for the revocation and the time period allowed for the 
employer's rebuttal. The employer may submit evidence in rebuttal within 
30 days of receipt of the notice. The Certifying Officer must consider 
all relevant evidence presented in deciding whether to revoke the labor 
certification.
    (2) If rebuttal evidence is not filed by the employer, the Notice of 
Intent to Revoke becomes the final decision of the Secretary.
    (3) If the employer files rebuttal evidence and the Certifying 
Officer determines the certification should be revoked, the employer may 
file an appeal under Sec. 656.26.
    (4) The Certifying Officer will inform the employer within 30 days 
of receiving any rebuttal evidence whether or not the labor 
certification will be revoked.
    (5) If the labor certification is revoked, the Certifying Officer 
will also send a copy of the notification to the DHS and the Department 
of State.
