Form ETA-9089

Form ETA-9089, also known as the Application for Permanent Employment Certification, is a document used by employers in the United States to request permission to hire a foreign worker for a permanent position. The form demonstrates that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for the job, ensuring that hiring the foreign worker won’t negatively impact the local labor market. The employer must provide details about the job and the candidate’s qualifications. Once approved by the Department of Labor, it allows the foreign worker to apply for a green card based on that employment.
