What happens after the certifying officer makes a decision?

If a labor certification is granted, except for a labor certification for an occupation on Schedule A or for employment as a sheepherder, the Certifying Officer must send the certified application and complete Final Determination form to the employer, or, if appropriate, to the employer's agent or attorney, indicating the employer may file all the documents with the appropriate DHS office. 

If the labor certification is denied, the Final Determination form will: 

(1) State the reasons for the determination; 

(2) Quote the request for review procedures; 

(3) Advise that failure to request review within 30 days of the date of the determination constitutes a failure to exhaust administrative remedies; 

(4) Advise that, if a request for review is not made within 30 days of the date of the determination, the denial shall become the final determination of the Secretary; 

(5) Advise that if an application for a labor certification is denied, and a request for review is not made in accordance with the procedures, a new application may be filed at any time; and 

(6) Advise that a new application in the same occupation for the same alien can not be filed while a request for review is pending with the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals. 

If the Certifying Officer determines the employer substantially failed to produce required documentation, or the documentation was inadequate, or determines a material misrepresentation was made with respect to the application, or if the Certifying Officer determines it is appropriate for other reasons, the employer may be required to conduct supervised recruitment in future filings of labor certification applications for up to two years from the date of the Final Determination. 

The employer may request reconsideration within 30 days from the date of issuance of the denial. The request for reconsideration may not include evidence not previously submitted. The Certifying Officer may, in his or her discretion, reconsider the determination or treat it as a request for review.
