Dr. William Carlson, Administrator
"WELCOME to the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC). We provide labor certification to employers seeking to bring foreign workers into the United States."
"To obtain certification employers must show that there are insufficient qualified U. S. workers available and willing to perform the work at the prevailing wage paid for the occupation. The intent is to ensure that admitting foreign workers does not adversely affect job opportunities, wages and working conditions for Americans."
