What is labor certification?
Labor certification is a common first step toward obtaining a green card. Foreign nationals who are potentially interested in permanent residence will often begin with the labor certification process.
Labor certification ensures that there has been unsuccessful recruitment in the domestic labor market prior to petitioning for an immigrant worker, with no qualified US workers willing to accept a particular position. Labor certification is closely linked with the Department of Labor, which fosters rigorous requirements for labor certification applicants.
A series of conditions must be met, including proof of the job prospect’s legitimacy, the financially sound status of a company, and the ability to pay both at the period of filing and throughout the green card process. These are just a few of the necessities of labor certification.
What is PERM ?
The Program Electronic Review Management (more commonly known as PERM ) is the filing system that became effective May 28, 2005. This is the newest application system, following the Reduction in Recruitment (RIR) filing procedure.
