PERM (Labor Certification) Process For Employment Based
Green Cards Applications

PERM is the new procedure for Labor Certification, and stands for
Program Electronic Review Management process.  The PERM process
requires the Applicant’s sponsoring employer to conduct a series of
recruitment activities to determine if there is another applicant in the US
for the same position.  If there is not a qualified and willing applicant (US
citizen or Permanent Resident) available for the position during the
recruitment process, the employer is permitted to submit the PERM
Labor Certification.

The main requirement in PERM is that the petitioning employer is
required to have all supporting documents ready prior to filing and
should submit them to the Department of Labor within 30 days in the
event the case is chosen for audit by the Department of Labor.  PERM
Labor Certifications are processed and adjudicated by the US
Department of Labor within approximately 45 to 60 days.

PERM Labor Certifications are extremely detailed and require a skilled
attorney.  If you intend on filing an employment based green card
application,
contact Gerald Cipolla & Associates for a consultation.
