PERM LABOR CERTIFICATION DETAILS
DOL's New PERM Process: A Paradigm Shift in Labor Certification
Redefining Labor Certification:
The Department of Labor (DOL) has introduced a revamped PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) process. This new system is crafted to phase out the conventional labor certification methods, aiming for a streamlined and efficient approach.
Inspiration from RIR:
Drawing inspiration from the Reduction in Recruitment (RIR) procedures, the PERM process leans heavily on automation and digital methodologies. The goal is to enhance speed, accuracy, and consistency in labor certifications.
A Unified Approach:
With the implementation of the new PERM system, the DOL endeavors to consolidate various labor certification processes into a singular, unified mechanism, promoting efficiency and simplicity.
For employers and applicants alike, this change signals a more streamlined approach to labor certification, reducing complexities and potential delays.
FOR WHOM IS PERM LABOR CERTIFICATION APPROPRIATE?
Understanding the PERM Work Certificate
Who is it for?
The PERM (Program Electronic Review Management) work certificate is tailored for foreign professionals whom American companies wish to employ either on a temporary or permanent basis within the United States.
Essential Steps for Acquiring the PERM Work Certificate:
- Engagement with a U.S. Employer: Secure a work permit and enter into a contract with an American company ready to hire you.
- Department of Labor (DOL) Certification: Before progressing, it's crucial to obtain approval and certification from the DOL, ensuring that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to fill the position.
- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Approval: Once the DOL certifies the labor application, the employer must file an immigrant petition with the USCIS. Upon confirmation, a certificate will be issued.
- National Visa Center (NVC) Processing: After USCIS approval, the application is sent to the NVC, which will process the petition and issue the certificate, preparing it for consular action.
- Embassy or Consulate Verification: The final step is visa issuance. The embassy or consulate of the country where the foreign worker currently resides will review the application, conduct an interview, and, if approved, issue the visa. This allows the individual to travel and work in the U.S. under the terms of that visa.
In essence, the PERM work certificate is a structured pathway for foreign talents to legally work in the U.S., ensuring that both their rights and the interests of U.S. workers are protected.

Navigating Job Offers to Foreign Nationals in the USA
Inquiry About Program Availability in the USA?
The process of US companies hiring foreign nationals is governed by specific regulations to ensure fairness and protection to both US and foreign workers. Here's a brief overview:
- Job Offer to a Foreign National: A US company interested in hiring a foreign national must extend a formal job offer. This job offer should include compensation equivalent to the prevailing wage for that specific role and region.
- Advertising the Position: Before finalizing the foreign hire, the company is mandated to advertise the job position. This includes:
- In-House Advertising: The position must be publicized within the company itself to ensure current US employees are aware of the opportunity.
- Local Newspaper Advertising: The role must also be advertised in a local newspaper, allowing the wider US labor market an opportunity to apply.
- Selection Process and Justification: Once the advertising period concludes:
- The company must evaluate all applications received.
- If there are qualified US applicants, the company needs to consider them first.
- Should the company decide to hire the foreign national, it must provide a concrete justification. This involves clearly demonstrating why the US applicants were not suitable and why the foreign national is the right fit for the position.
This procedure ensures a balance between providing opportunities to US citizens and allowing US businesses to hire foreign talent when specific skills or expertise are required.
