Apply for PERM,

First Step of the Employment Green Card Process

The Program Electronic Review Management (PERM) is the process for getting labor certification, the first step of obtaining a green card for foreign nationals who seek permanent residence via employment. Employers must demonstrate that they were unsuccessful in recruiting a qualified U.S. employee for a certain position in order to obtain an approved PERM Labor Certification. They can do this by showing newspaper advertising and other recruiting methods.

The employer must also be prepared to hire the foreign worker on a permanent and full-time basis. Additionally, there must be a job opening available to U.S. employees. Job requirements must follow what is usually requested for the occupation in the U.S. and may not be personalized to the employee’s qualifications.

In other words, the employer should establish that the employment opportunity has been specified without the use of unfair restrictive job demands, unless it can prove that they come just out of business necessity. Furthermore, the employer must pay, at least, the prevailing wage for the position in the area of intended employment. If you would like to apply for PERM, call now for a confidential consultation with Alice Antonovsky to analyze your options.

Key Facts About PERM Visas:

Also known as PERM, labor certification is a broadly used employment-based opportunity for getting a green card. PERM requires U.S. employers to demonstrate that there are no qualified U.S. workers for a particular position.
The employer will be able to apply for a green card for the foreign employee once the U.S. Department of Labor confirms this application.
The petitioning employer must conduct a range of activities in order to test the labor market prior to filing the application. If willing, qualified and sufficient able applicants (Permanent Resident or U.S. Citizen) are not found for a position through this process, the employer can then submit a PERM application.

As an illegal immigrant, I hired Alice Antonovsky to help me fix my migratory situation. I had followed some bad advice in the past and really wanted to come clean with immigration authorities. Ms. Antonovsky was very helpful and helped me understand there was still a chance for my family to stay together. Thank you!

Pat Rajender

I escaped a violent past from a very unstable family a few years ago. Coming to the United States was my survival option. Being here, I met people who helped me out in different ways. They advised me to get a professional assessment on my immigration situation. Luckily, I went to Alice for help and she did not disappoint. I can absolutely recommend her legal services.

“ I own a Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Since I had a prospective employee from Shanghai, I asked the Law Offices of Alice Antonovsky to help me file a PERM labor certification petition. They walked me through the process, prepared job orders, recruitment reports and all other relevant steps. Thanks to their professionalism, promptness and expertise, the PERM labor certification was quickly approved. I could bring the expert chef from China to my restaurant at last!”

“ I'm the CEO of an engineering firm. I've been working with Alice Antonovsky since 2013 when I asked her to apply for an H-1B for an employee. Even though he was not selected under visa lottery, he did qualify for the extended OPT STEM extension. Alice strategically positioned his case for a green card via the PERM labor certification process. The process was a success. It was approved! So happy!”
