US Set to Review Green Card Sponsorship Rules for Foreign Workers

The United States is preparing to revise its employment-based green card sponsorship rules after completing a federal review of proposed changes to the Permanent Labor Certification programme. The proposed rules could change how employers prove that qualified American workers are unavailable before sponsoring foreign nationals for permanent residency. The process is important for many EB-2 and EB-3 green card applications. The reforms are expected to cover recruitment standards, protections for workers affected by layoffs and stronger compliance with non-discrimination requirements. Details will be made public when the proposal is published for public comment. The rules will not take effect until the consultation and final rulemaking process are completed.
