Employer Sponsorship & PERM Labor Certification

The PERM labor certification procedure persists to be a crucial yet difficult step for businesses sponsoring foreign workers. In fiscal year 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor processed over 102,000 applications, yet nearly 14,000 were either denied or withdrawn, emphasizing the need for precise and well-prepared filings. Missteps in documentation, employer compliance, or prevailing wage determinations can lead to setbacks, making experienced legal guidance essential for a successful outcome.

We help businesses file PERM labor certifications, assuring compliance with labor market regulations while supporting skilled foreign employees. Our professional experience includes handling complex cases, responding to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), and assisting employers in guiding the sponsorship process successfully.

The Employment-Based Immigration Process

Understanding the employment visa process calls for different steps, each demanding thorough documentation and legal precision. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how the process works:​

1. Eligibility Evaluation
   Assess whether the applicant qualifies for an employment-based visa based on education, work experience, and job offer requirements.
2. Employer Sponsorship
   The employer must initiate the process by filing a sponsorship petition and supporting documentation.
3. USCIS Petition Filing
   The employer submits the petition to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for approval.
4. RFE Handling & Processing Time
   If USCIS issues a Request for Evidence (RFE), the applicant and employer must provide additional documentation to strengthen the case. Processing times vary depending on visa type and case complexity. In fiscal year 2023, USCIS and the Department of State issued nearly 194,000 employment-based immigrant visas, underscoring the importance of accurate and complete submissions.
5. Final Steps
   If approved, applicants proceed with either consular processing (for those outside the U.S.) or adjustment of status (for those already in the country), leading to visa issuance or green card approval.

Each and every one of these stages is extremely important, and any mistakes or omissions that occur can result in significant delays or even denials. It is possible to successfully guide these complexities by retaining the services of experienced legal counsel.

Employment-Based Immigration Requirements

Each visa category has specific requirements, but most employment-based immigration cases require:

• A sponsoring employer willing to file the petition.
• Documented qualifications proving eligibility for the position or category.
• Compliance with U.S. labor laws to protect the domestic workforce.
• A prevailing wage determination, confirming that hiring a foreign worker does not adversely affect U.S. job conditions.

Applicants often face PERM certification delays, RFEs, and audit compliance challenges. Our firm provides legal strategies to overcome these hurdles, ensuring each case is as strong as possible.
