Perm Process | PERM Process Consultation | Jason Finch & Associates, PC, LLO

What is the Permanent Labor Certification Process?

The actual process for permanent labor certification varies depending upon the program being used. This Web site contains information regarding the process for filing for each of the programs under the Department of Labor's (DOL) jurisdiction. The filing of applications is the responsibility of the employer, not the employee. However, the employee can benefit from understanding the program being utilized in his/her behalf. In general, the DOL works to ensure that the admission of foreign workers to work in the U.S. will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages and working conditions of U.S. workers. Once a permanent labor certification application has been approved by the DOL, the employer will need to seek the immigration authorization from USCIS.

Program Overview

A permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. In most instances, before the U.S. employer can submit an immigration petition to the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the employer must obtain a certified labor certification application from the DOL's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

To improve the operations of the permanent labor certification program (PERM), ETA published a final regulation on December 27, 2004, implementing a new, re-engineered permanent labor certification program, effective March 28, 2005. This new electronic program has improved services to our various stakeholders.

As of March 28, 2005, ETA Form 750 applications were no longer accepted under the regulation in effect prior to March 28, 2005, and instead new ETA Form 9089 applications had to be filed under the new PERM regulation at the appropriate National Processing Center (NPC). Applications filed under the regulation in effect prior to March 28, 2005, continued to be processed under the rule in effect at the time of filing at an appropriate Backlog Elimination Center until such time as the backlog was eliminated. Where an employer chose to withdraw an application filed under the regulation in effect prior to March 28, 2005, and still in process, and to refile an application for the identical job opportunity under the refile provisions of the PERM regulation, the employer was permitted to use the previously filed ETA Form 750 application filing date.

DOL processes Applications for Permanent Employment Certification, ETA Form 9089, with the exception of Schedule A and sheepherder applications filed under 20 CFR § 656.16. The date the labor certification application is received by the DOL is known as the filing date and is used by USCIS and the Department of State as the priority date. After the labor certification application is certified by DOL, it should be submitted to the appropriate USCIS Service Center with a Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. The certification has a validity period of 180-days and expires if not submitted to USCIS within this period.

Us Citizenship Questions – Family Immigration

 

A Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) is a foreign national who has been granted the privilege of permanently living and working in the United States.

You become a LPR through a United States Citizen parent, spouse, or sibling.  You can also become a LPR through an LPR spouse or parent (but only if you are single)

Two important points about becoming a LRP through your qualifying family members are: 1) in most cases there are waiting lines to get your visa (See the Visa Bulletin: some lines are a short as a few years while other are over 20 years); 2) your qualifying family member must make enough income to qualify as a sponsor or be able to find a U.S. Citizen or LPR who will file jointly with them for you.

Family immigration consists of 4 steps:

  • The Petition;
  • The waiver (If necessary);
  • The Application;
  • The Final Interview

Each step take between 4-6 months to complete, unless you qualify to complete the process in the United States (then it takes about 6 months for the total process).

Immigration lawyer consultation – Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of Status

The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) permits the change of an individual's immigration status while in the United States from many temporary visas to permanent visa status where the person was inspected, admitted or paroled into the United States, or qualified to pay the $1,000 penalty fee; and is able to meet all required qualifications for a permanent residence in a particular category.  The common term for a change to permanent status is “adjustment of status.”

If you are not eligible to adjust your status in the United States, you may qualify for an alternative method of obtaining permanent residency.  This alternative is called Consular Processing.  Consular processing is an alternate process for an individual outside the United States to obtain a visa abroad.

If you are looking for someone who can help you with the process contact us and we will schedule you for an Immigration lawyer consultation schedule.
