Greek. computer literacy. cross country and track. and a vibrant talented and gifted extended learning program are choices that are now available to many of the districts children. Countless letters from Alaska students. parents. school administrators. and State public officials bear testimony to this. The district has tried. but failed. to secure a visa from the INS to permit Dr. Mastroyanis to work permanently in this country. The problem lies primarily with DOLs refusal to certify that the employment of Dr. Mastroyanis would not displace a U.S. resident worker. By law. before the INS can issue a permanent work visa to an alien. the DOL must certify that the employment of an alien at the time of an application for a permanent work visa would not displace or adversely affect the wages or working conditions of other U.S. resident workers. To obtain certification. the employer must prove to DOL that it adequately recruited U.S. resident workers for the job offered to an alien. To demonstrate adequate recruitment of U.S. resident workers. DOL regulations require the employer to post a job notice at its place of employment. recruit through the State Employment Service. and place an ad in a trade or national publication. It is possible for an employer to forgo DOLs recruitment requirements. and use its own recruitment sources. if it can show it adequately recruited U.S. resident workers with no success within 6 months of its application for a permanent work visa. In February 1985. approximately 6 months from the recruitment and hire of Dr. Mastroyanis. the district applied for what it thought was the necessary paperwork for a permanent work visa for Dr. Mastroyanis with the INS office in Anchorage. AK.
