Changes resulting from the implementation of PERM
PERM has greatly speeded the process of obtaining Department of Labor certification for employees. With the speed have come some new requirements, including:
- Changes in pre-filing requirements
- The need to summarize efforts to recruit US citizens
- Changes in the wage determination procedures
- Changes in advertising and recruiting requirements
From labor certification to green card application
Because our firm has significant experience in labor certification and the PERM process, we are able to advise clients about structuring job descriptions that best reflect their labor needs. We also make sure they meet wage prevailing wage requirements. Once labor certification is obtained through PERM, an employer can immediately begin the process of requesting an immigrant visa, usually an E-2 or E-3 visa, based on the qualifications of the immigrant and the requirements of the position. Our firm assists with the process, assembling needed documentation and working to avoid delays.
While the visa application is pending, our firm can help clients apply for permanent residence (also known as a green card). Unlike filing for labor certification via the PERM process, obtaining a green card can take many months or years. Once each year’s allotment of green cards is issued, there are no more. Our firm counsels clients and their employees to make sure they understand the permanent residency application process.
