PERM, Labor CertificationMost people apply for a green card through labor certification process if currently employed. The two main categories for employment based immigration that require labor certification are EB2 and EB3. Within these two categories, there are many sub-categories for
professionals holding advanced degrees, aliens of exceptional ability, baccalaureate degree holders, skilled workers and other workers.The key of
the process is to convince the Department of Labor that no qualified U.S. worker is willing to take your job. In other words, the hiring of you, an alien, will not adversely affect the job opportunities, wages and working conditions of U.S. workers.There are certain risks associated with labor certification application. The main one is that you might be replaced if a qualified U.S. worker (citizen or green card holder) is found. We suggest everyone going through the labor certification application know the process. Therefore, you will have some control of the process to avoid the risks.Labor certification application requires employer's sponsorship. This does not mean that you can not do it yourself. It only means that a representative of the employer has to sign the forms. You can prepare the forms and all other documents.On March 28, 2005, the Department of Labor started the new labor certification system, PERM, which will streamline the labor certification process and make it faster. However, attorneys, law firms can NOT register to use the on-line system. You have to be applied by the employer directly.
