PERM

PERM, or Program Electronic Review Management, is a system used in the United States for labor certification, part of the employment-based immigration process. It ensures that there are no qualified U.S. workers available for a job before an employer can hire a foreign worker. The employer must test the labor market by advertising the position and documenting the recruitment process. If no qualified candidates are found, the employer can apply for PERM approval to sponsor the foreign worker for a green card. This process helps protect U.S. workers by ensuring fair job opportunities.
