The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has announced that it
will implement electronic filing for the submission of temporary labor
certification applications that are part of the H-2A and H-2B visa
programs through the iCERT Visa Portal System. This new electronic
filing system, run by the Department of Labor, will enhance the
accessibility and quality fo labor certification services and reduce the
reporting burden on small employers, commented the Department of Labor.

Employers or their authorized representatives will be able to submit
H-2B applications electronically starting October 15, 2012 and H-2A
applications starting December 10, 2012, at http://icert.doleta.gov.
Employers who choose to not use this electronic filing option are
guided to continue to file their H-2A and H-2B applications using the
standard paper-based filing method.
