Employer-based process proving hiring a foreign worker won’t negatively impact U.S. workers’ jobs or wages.
The PERM Labor Certification is the first step for employers who wish to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency (a green card) in the United States. It ensures that hiring a foreign employee will not negatively impact U.S. workers by proving that no qualified U.S. candidates are available for the position. This process requires strict compliance with Department of Labor (DOL) regulations and detailed documentation of recruitment efforts.
We assist employers through every stage of the PERM process—from job advertising and recruitment to filing and approval. Our team ensures accuracy, compliance, and timeliness to minimize risks of denial or delay. With our guidance, businesses can secure the right talent while maintaining full legal compliance with U.S. labor and immigration laws.
We assess the employer’s needs, job requirements, and the foreign worker’s qualifications for PERM eligibility.
We request a prevailing wage from the Department of Labor to ensure fair compensation for the position.
The employer conducts mandatory recruitment to test the U.S. labor market and prove no qualified U.S. workers are available.
After recruitment, we prepare and submit the PERM application to the Department of Labor.
We monitor the application, respond to audits or inquiries, and provide regular updates.
Once approved, we assist in filing the immigrant petition (Form I-140) and guide the next stage toward permanent residency.
