PERM and establishing a need for foreign workers

The Department of Labor has strict requirements for processing alien labor certifications and permanent labor certifications. Our firm provides comprehensive legal help to employers throughout the course of the PERM process. We help with issues such as identifying the appropriate job title and ensuring workers' qualifications are documented properly. Meeting the PERM rules includes steps such as the following.

• Requesting a "prevailing wage determination" from state's workforce agency
• Undergoing a recruitment campaign to rule-out eligibility of a U.S. citizen worker. Efforts can include posting job on job bank with unemployment office and interviewing applicants.
• Submitting description of efforts involving recruitment, findings, information regarding job, and wage

The Department of Labor must certify that the information is accurate and then will certify the application for labor certification.
