DOL SECRETARY SOLIS ANNOUNCES THE DEPARTMENT TO EXERCISE ITS AUTHORITY TO CERTIFY U VISAS

"On March 15, 2010 Secretary Solis announced that the Department of Labor (“DOL”) will begin exercising its authority to certify applications for U Nonimmigrant Status Visas ("U Visas")." So, what is the big fuss, you may ask? Well, if U.S. employers take a close look at the rules and regulations . . . it means that the U.S. Department of Labor has another enforcement tool in its “bag of tricks.” The DOL can afford U Visa status to any foreign nationals that help the DOL investigate employers who are involved in Wage and Hour Violations and other Workplace Violations. Employers need to be mindful (more then ever before) that they should carefully follow all of the DOL’s rules and regulations.
