The Department of Labor has extended the deadline on a Request for Information on whether the agency should revise its list of Schedule A job classifications that do not require permanent labor certification.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: Green cards in the EB-2 and EB-3 classifications generally require permanent labor certification, or PERM; however, PERM is not required for occupations on the Schedule A list of shortage occupations. This list has not been revised since 2004, and the DOL’s move to ask for public input is a welcome development toward modernizing the list and the process for revising it. The Request for Information is a preliminary step in the rulemaking process, and several steps must be completed before the list can be updated. BAL will continue following this matter and will provide updates as information becomes available.
