8/27/25 AILA Doc. No. 25082832. Business Immigration

The Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) posted the following announcement:

August 27, 2025. Office of Foreign Labor Certification Announces Archival of Searchable Frequently Asked Questions Database

As part of the modernization of the Department of Labor’s websites, OFLC will be archiving the searchable Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) database, currently located at https://foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/faqsanswers.cfm, and moving it to a new location. Once, the page is archived, OFLC will not be making any further updates to the searchable database.

Effective August 30, 2025, the Department will be discontinuing access to the searchable FAQ database at this location.

Upon completing this process, the searchable FAQ database will only be available at its new location, which is currently active and available to the public.

This new location where the searchable FAQ database is being stored is at a website that is not controlled by DOL. Stakeholders are advised to update their bookmarks and hyperlinks if they wish to continue to access the archived FAQs. Please note, the archive may take time to load, but once it does, it is fully functional.

NOTE: Stakeholders are reminded that the archived searchable FAQ database will no longer be updated once it is archived and should not be relied upon to provide the most recent OFLC guidance. It is advisable to only rely on the searchable FAQ database for historical guidance.
