The U.S. Department of Labor Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) in the Employment and Training Administration carries out the Secretary of Labor’s responsibilities under immigration law with respect to the admission of foreign workers on a permanent or temporary basis. Each year OFLC processes hundreds of thousands of applications from employers seeking to hire permanent, temporary and specialized workers from abroad. OFLC operates two national processing centers (NPCs) – one in Chicago, Illinois, the other in Atlanta, Georgia. The Chicago NPC processes temporary foreign labor certification applications and, as needed, assists the Atlanta NPC in the processing of applications for the permanent labor certification program.
OFLC currently has both Federal and contractor staff on board at each center, but requires additional, specialized assistance with certain labor certification applications. OFLC is seeking contract assistance in its Chicago NPC to review and process Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) filed by employers seeking to hire highly skilled foreign workers under the H-1B/H-1B1 employment-based visa program. Analysts would also assist, as needed, with the review and processing of permanent applications where more than 75 percent of the foreign workers for permanent employment already work in the U.S. on a H-1B/H-1B1 visa. Additional staff will be needed to support customer inquiries/calls and provide database/technology support to generate daily/weekly management reports and assist the on-site Federal Information Technology staff.
