PERM Green Card Requirements and Process

If you are trying to secure a PERM green card as an employee, there are many important requirements you must first meet to be considered. A good immigration lawyer can help determine how you meet each of these requirements and help you move forward with your petition. Those requirements include:

• You must have an employer willing to act as a sponsor for a permanent, full-time position with their company. That employer must also be willing to pay all your associated legal fees that occur throughout this process.
• That employer must have a valid Federal Employment Identification Number (FEIN) and a permanent location within the borders of the United States.
• The employer must get a determination about your potential wages from the U.S. Department of Labor for the specific job they are offering.
• You will need to meet the minimum education or experience requirements for the job in question.

The PERM green card application process can be difficult and overwhelming, especially if you have never applied for something like this before. An experienced attorney can prove to be invaluable during this process. Here are some of the vital steps in the application process:

• The process is started by your employer, who gets the prevailing wage determination from the Department of Labor and begins the recruitment process for the job in order to test the labor market. This is done to make sure there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the job.
• If no U.S. worker is found, the employer’s legal team will file the PERM application with the Department of Labor. They will then make sure the application was filed correctly and all requirements have been met. Once the PERM application is certified, your employer can then file an immigration petition with the USCIS on your behalf.
• At that point, you will then file for a green card, which will include a stringent application process involving a medical exam and an interview, among other elements. It is advised to have an immigration lawyer help you throughout this process.
