This is also occasionally described as "directed recruitment". Like RIR, this method of getting a Labor Certification is no longer available as of March 2005.
The regular process was, as the name suggests, the original form of Labor Certification.The employer would file the Labor Certification. Department of Labor would then direct the employer exactly how to advertise the job, including the exact wording and size of the newspaper ad, and which day and which newspaper to use. Department of Labor would then review every received resume before forwarding it to the employer for an interview. The employer would have to explain for each American why that person was not acceptable.
As this description suggests, the regular process was highly bureaucratic and took several years to complete.
