How does labor certification work for a university professor? (trying
to decide between EB1-OR and EB2 here...)

With EB2, since jobs are seasonal, the "job ads in a local paper for 6
months" method doesn't make any sense. If they would wait till next
Fall to submit an ad, many applicants are guaranteed to apply for any
tenure-track position. This way no-one would ever get a LC in
academia... So what really happens with LC there?

A college professor who was hired as a result of a competitive
recruitment may normally apply for labor certification without further
recruitment provided that he applies with 18 months of the decision to
hire him and the recruitment involved at least one print ad.

As always in immigration law, the devil is in the details, so legal
counsel is strongly recommended.
