Here, you will find detailed answers to many of most common immigration questions. |  |
| 41. | What additional documentation may the employer provide to the Certifying Officer when requesting a review of the prevailing wage? | | | |
| |
The single opportunity to submit supplemental information to the NPW HC represents the employer’s only opportunity beyond the initial filing to include materials in the record that will be before the Certifying Officer in the event of an employer request for review under
§ 656.41. The appeal stage of the process is not intended to serve as an avenue for the employer to submit new materials relating to a prevailing wage determination. | | 42. | How detailed does the recruitment report have to be with respect to the lawful, job-related reasons U.S. workers were rejected? |
| | | | | The employer must categorize the lawful job-related reasons for rejection of U.S. applicants and provide the number of U.S. applicants rejected in each category. The recruitment report does
not have to identify the individual U.S. workers who applied for the job opportunity. | | | | | | Note:
The Certifying Officer, after reviewing the employer’s recruitment report, may request the U.S. workers' resumes or applications, sorted by the lawful job related reasons the workers were rejected. |

| 43. |
Can business necessity be used to justify requirements which exceed the occupation's Specific Vocational Preparation (SVP) and/or are not normal to the occupation involved in the employer’s application? | | | |
| | Yes, business necessity is a means to justify requirements which are not normal to the occupation and/or exceed the SVP. While the job opportunity’s requirements, as a rule, must be those normally required for the occupation and must not exceed the SVP level assigned to the occupation as shown in the O*Net Job Zones, business necessity
may be used to justify requirements not normal to the occupation and/or which exceed the SVP. | | | | | | Note:
Business necessity can be established by the employer demonstrating that the job duties and requirements bear a reasonable relationship to the occupation in the context of the employer’s business and are essential to perform the job in a reasonable manner. |
