Labor certification is for the job in future. Since the process of
getting a greencard takes a long time, it is possible that some
persons may need to move from one office location to another which
may be in different metropolitan statistical area(may be in same
state or in different state), the person would have to do the labor
certificate again. It may not be necessary if the paperwork at the
time of filing labor certificate itself states that the job
opportunity is for any branch of the company and moving from time
to time may be necessary as part of the job duties. For labor certifications where the alien will work in various locations throughout the U.S. that cannot be anticipated in advance, the
application should be filed with the local employment services
office having jurisdiction over the area in which the employer's
headquarters or main office is located. Furthermore, the
application should still indicate that the alien will be working at
various unanticipated locations and include a brief statement
explaining why it is not possible to determine the location of the
work sites at the time the application is filed.
To avoid any problems, it is best to have a position which does
not involve relocations. But it necessary to travel and work in
different office locations, the employee should be the proper
employee and not independent contractor like free lancer(Use of
W-2s and NOT use of 1099s.)
Note that the if the person moves before getting the greencard but
moves back to the same location from where the labor certification
was filed, then new labor certificate would not be necessary.
