Under the Labor Certification regulations which were in effect prior to March 28, 2005, there were certain occupations which were NOT eligible for Labor Certification because the Labor Department had "determined that there generally [were] sufficient United States workers who are able, willing, qualified and available for" the respective occupations. The occupations are listed below. However, the new PERM Labor Certification has eliminated Schedule B, so that it may now be possible to obtain a Labor Certification for these occupations.
The Labor Department identifies these occupations in its "Schedule B" list as follows:
(1) Assemblers
