The Consideration Rule: The DOL Addresses Audits

On September 17, 2008 the Department of Labor (DOL) provided an important update regarding it's application of the "consideration rule" on the Foreign Labor Certification application process. The DOL confirmed that it will only apply this rule to those applications where the recruitment began after August 29, 2008, the date of the rule's final guidance. Moreover, the DOL stated that it will release and continue processing any applications currently under audit exclusively for concerns related to the consideration rule.
