What is a favorable labor certification?

In general, a favorable labor certification issued by the US Department of Labor is sometimes required before the petition (requesting permission to bring a foreign worker to the United States) can be filed with the USCIS government agency. Two key components of a favorable labor certification basically declare that there are no qualified American workers available and willing to fill the US job opening, and the wages of American workers will not be harmed by bringing in a foreign worker for that position.
