SESA is the State
Employment Security Agency of each state/region listed above.
This is the first step in the labor certification/RIR process.
The second step in the labor certification process is the US
Department of Labor (USDOL); USDOL processing times are separate
and in addition to SESA processing.
*These processing
times can vary considerably from month to month. We update
these charts as numbers become available.
**Not Available.
