Department of Labor Withdraws Confusing FAQ on Filing Second Labor Certification Application

August 25, 2005

The U.S. Department of labor has withdrawn the controversial and confusing statements contained in its August 8, 2005 FAQ dealing with the filing of second PERM applications. The following is found in the new revised FAQ:

"Under PERM, is it permissible for an employer to have more than one labor certification application actively in process for the same alien at any given time? What should an employer do if it has already filed multiple applications for the same alien?

We have removed the response to this question posted on August 8, 2005. The Department is considering questions and information stakeholders have submitted in response to this FAQ posting, and will be developing and posting a clarified response in the near future."
