PERM Labor Certification

The PERM Labor Certification is a process used in the United States to hire foreign workers for permanent jobs. Employers must prove that there are not enough qualified U.S. workers available for the position, meaning they need to conduct a recruiting effort. If no suitable candidates are found, the employer can file for PERM certification with the U.S. Department of Labor. Once approved, it allows the employer to sponsor the foreign worker for a green card, enabling them to live and work permanently in the U.S. This process helps protect American jobs while filling necessary roles.
