While study abroad programs have traditionally been limited to language learners, they are increasingly available to a wider pool of students and courses, stakeholders said. “I know this is a lot to put on universities, but if we want to expand the ability for students to do study abroad – especially since study abroad is far beyond language acquisition now – it would be helpful if universities were able to expand their offerings in English,” Sue Macchiarella, director of study abroad at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University told The PIE. “A lot of people talk about the decolonisation of study abroad, and I…

The PERM labor certification process, overseen by the Department of Labor (DOL), requires U.S. employers to prove that there are no available, qualified U.S. workers for a position in which they want to permanently place a foreign worker.

Specifically, 20 CFR 656.17(k) provides: If there has been a layoff by the employer applicant in the area of intended employment within six (6) months of filing an…
