Your Immigration Questions Answered by VisaPro.
Here, you will find detailed answers to many of most common immigration questions. |  |
| 63. | Will there be certain responses to questions on the Application for Permanent Employment Certification, ETA Form 9089, that will automatically trigger an audit? | | |
| | | Questions regarding audit criteria will not be addressed. The criteria was purposely not included in the regulation in order to retain the flexibility to change audit criteria, as needed, for example, to focus on certain occupations or industries
when information indicates program abuse may be occurring. The regulation grants authority to increase the number of random audits or change the criteria for targeted audits. Making the audit process predictable would defeat the purpose of the audits and undermine the program's integrity. | | 64. | When, during an audit, is there a 90 day suspension of the audit? |
| | | | | Under § 656.31(a), Department of Labor processing of an application, including audit procedures, may be suspended in certain circumstances. Specifically;
‘If possible fraud or willful misrepresentation involving a labor certification is discovered before a final labor certification determination; the Certifying Officer will refer the matter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for investigation, and must send a copy of the referral to the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General (DOL OIG). If 90 days pass without the filing of a criminal indictment or information, or receipt of a notification
from DHS, DOL OIG, or other appropriate authority that an investigation is being conducted, the Certifying Officer may continue to process the application.’ |

What is revocation? | | | | | | If the granting of a labor certification is found
not to be justified, whether based on unintentional or willful conduct of the employer, a previously approved labor certification will be revoked. |
| 66. | What are the criteria for revoking approved labor certifications? | | | |
| | Certifying Officers have the authority to revoke an approved labor certification for fraud and willful misrepresentation, obvious errors, or for grounds or issues associated with the labor certification process. |
