The U.S. Department of Labor has announced that the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC) has fully resumed processing employer requests for prevailing wages and labor certifications, both temporary and permanent.
The Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG) system is now back online, allowing employers and attorneys to submit new applications, access pending cases, and exchange information related to ongoing filings.
While OFLC works to return to normal operations, applicants may experience longer-than-usual processing times. The DOL has not announced a definitive timeline for processing appeals or reopening the BALCA docket in full.
