Your Immigration Questions Answered by VisaPro.
Here, you will find detailed answers to many of most common immigration questions. |  |
| 18. | What is considered an acceptable newspaper and/or acceptable journal and is there a published list? | | | |
| | There is no published list of acceptable publications. Most employers, based on their normal recruiting efforts, will be able to readily identify those newspapers (or journals for certain professional positions) that are most likely to bring responses from able, willing, qualified, and available
U.S. workers. The employer must be able to document that the newspaper and/or journal chosen is the most appropriate to the occupation and the workers likely to apply for the job opportunity. | | | |
| | Note: In the case of a rural area where there is no newspaper with a Sunday edition and the employer chooses to use the edition having the widest circulation, the employer must be able to document the edition chosen does, in fact, have the widest circulation. |
| 19. |
When must the advertisements in the newspaper or professional journals be placed? | | | | | | Generally,
the newspaper advertisements must be placed on two different Sundays at least 30 days, but no more than 180 days, prior to filing the application. The Sundays may be consecutive. However, if the job opportunity is located in a rural area that does not have a newspaper that publishes a Sunday edition, the employer may use the newspaper edition with the widest circulation. This exception applies to rural newspapers only. If a suburban newspaper has no Sunday edition, the employer
must publish the Sunday advertisement in the most appropriate city newspaper that serves the suburban area. For journals, there is no specific edition requirement, however, the advertisement must be placed at least 30 days, but no more than 180 days, prior to filing the application. |

| 20. | Must all recruitment take place at least 30 days, but no more than 180 days prior to filing? | | | |
| | No, while the majority of the recruitment must take place within the 30 - 180 day timeframe, one of the three additional steps required for professional occupations may consist solely of activity which takes place within 30 days of filing. However, none of the steps may take place more than 180 days prior to filing the application. |
