Why is PERM labor certification important for employers?
PERM labor certification is the first step in the standard "green card" process. With some exceptions, employers filing on behalf of foreign workers must prove that there are no American workers "qualified, willing, and able" to fill the position. Labor certification is a statement from the United States Department of Labor that a particular position at a particular company is "open" because no qualified United States workers are available. Without PERM certification, your company is subject to prosecution and sanctions by the USCIS.
We focus on meeting the immigration needs of employers and employees:
- PERM certification
- Treaty traders and investor visas
- L-1 visas for Multi-national executives
- H-1B visas for working professionals
- Visas for health care workers
- Federal court litigation for employment immigration
